V8 -- I think Hoffman tried selling the 502 in the US and it wasn't a big seller. "In November 1954, at Hoffman's insistence, BMW contracted designer Albrecht von Goertz to design the BMW 503 and the 507."
The Neue Klasse 1602 and then the 2002 appeared on these shores a few years later.
I'm not sure they "officially" imported the 2002 Turbo to the US.
