The BMW HH is one of the Bmw entries the open record knows by name and by date — in 1947, and by little else. That is not nothing: a name in the catalogue is where a car's story starts to be recoverable. Herman Holbein drew it.
The hardware
130 hp is the published figure. It weighs 510 kg. Work it out per tonne and you get about 255 horsepower — genuine supercar pace. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Family and rivals
Its family tree is legible: its successor was the BMW 269. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Abarth Cisitalia 204A, the Ferrari 195 S — show what else the money bought that year. Its Bmw stablemates include the BMW 116 and the BMW 269.
What it costs now
There is no federal ownership record for the BMW HH — it predates the complaint database or was never sold in the United States — so MotorJury publishes no running-cost figure for it. For a car of this age the price is set by the collector market and the condition of the individual example, not by a formula.
