Yes.  We've had the coupĂ© version of this car before but not this cabriolet.
I actually have it as being from 1955/6..

I know that the Autenrieth "pontoon-bodied" coupes and convertibles all look very similar. But in Henning Zaiss' book this one is named "Sportwagen offen, Hannover". According to that source the Marburg convertible had side windows behind the door, but lacked the door vent windows.

Besides that, it must be 502 instead of 520 in the headline.

Sorry for the typo - have amended it to 502.
Also have questioned if it's a Hannover which will have to do until I get the time to try to check it out!

Does anyone know if this BMW's definitive model name is Marburg or Hannover please, as I've been researching it but can't seem to find an answer. Thanks.

Autenrieth used to name the cars after the place the first customer of a model lived. Henning Zaiss' book about Autenrieth is the best source I can think of in order to find information about these cars.
