The BMW 1500 had a design typical of the time with rounded shapes and chrome details. The 3-volume body made of steel had a pronounced waist line, including the hood and trunk.

Under the hood, there is a 4-cylinder gasoline engine with a volume of 1.5 liters and a power of 75 hp. It was paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox. Suspension - independent on all wheels. Brakes - disc in front and drum in the rear.
