No alfa connection

It is a BMW, but not a 503. I'll lock this for max_pershin for 48hrs

I'm torn .... It looks abit like the 3200 by bertone but not quite right.
The greenhouse is too tall and the overall effect is way too chunky.
Could this be a design study leading to the final 3200?

You're on the right track but it's not a 3200 prototype, the answer is even simpler than that

It is a test mule for the BMW 1500 ; I think it is from 1960

This prototype is the BMW 530, designed in 1957, this prototype probably built in 1958.
