Currently trying to find a picture (or two) of the BMW E504 prototype, essentially (if I've got the translation correct) a 4-door extended wheelbase version of the BMW 503 and also produced somewhere in the realm of 1955-1957.  I feel that somewhere out there is a birds-eye shot of a BMW display at an auto show (again 1955-1957) that includes this car, but so far have been unable to locate it.

Many Thanks to anyone who can provide info/pic!

Something along these lines? I don't  think this is the car you're looking for; I'm just trying to get a feel for what it is you seek.

Measures with mics, marks with chalk, cuts with axe, beats to fit and paints to match

That's certainly around the correct time, but I'm certain that isn't the e504.  My problem stems from the fact that I'm fairly certain I saw the E504 online (at a 50s autoshow), but didn't know what it was as it wasn't captioned.  Then I discovered the e-codes for BMWs that described the E504 (in German) as a 4-door 3 meter wb version of the 503 and decided that must have been it - then I couldn't find the picture again!  So that's my dilemma.  Incidentally, what car are we looking at in your photo? 

Thank you!

...I think the photo I had seen depicts the E505 and not the E504, after careful review, and that it appeared at the IAA in Frankfurt, 1955.  But a photo of the E504 should still exist somewhere...
