Yes, but it usually didn't have tail fins. So I need the story about those, too. Locked for you.

Do you want an explanation for the technical seasons, why wings were mounted?
I don't know, but may be, to accelerate airflow under the car and thereby achieve better road holding?
"During test drives in August 1954 at the Nürburgring with the prototype chassis number 70001, no satisfactory results were obtained. The car needed more than 17 minutes for a lap on the Nordschleife."

No, there were no technical reasons for those fins.

But I hope, they were functional and not only mounted for martial design reasons.
So may be, that some gauges were installed in it (would explain the flaps on the inside of the chimneys)?

'Unrecognizable made Erlkönig' during tests at the Nürburgring, so that it will be impossible for the public to perceive the prototype as the new BMW sports car?
