BMW 328 — From roadster to legend
1937 International Automobile and Motorcycle Exhibition IAMA in Berlin. Visitors crowd around a small sports car at the BMW stand. It was already clear at the time that the BMW 328 presented here would become a racing icon. Its 2.0‑litre inline six-cylinder engine was a technical masterpiece, producing an output of 80 hp. The power-to-weight ratio, the beautiful, streamlined aluminium body and the innovative technology showed a clear plan — the BMW 328 was an outstanding sports car and built for the race track. A legend in German racing history.
Design and equipment:
The design of the BMW 328 was not only functional, but also aesthetically pleasing. Its flowing lines, gentle curves and timeless exterior make it a masterpiece of automotive design. The interior was minimalist in design, yet offered maximum comfort for driver and passengers. The high-quality materials and attention to detail emphasised BMW’s reputation for quality and style.
Many victories and top placings in the major races of the time cemented the reputation of the BMW 328 as a powerful and reliable racing car and contributed to the legendary status of this model, of which only 464 were built.
In 1937, our BMW with chassis number 85044 was delivered to the Autotrakt company in Breslau. The frame was rediscovered in 1963 in the collection of Björn Öwre from Oslo. Several workshops specialising in BMW built a technically problem-free and high-quality vehicle with a great deal of expertise and attention to detail.
Let yourself be enchanted by the charm of a racing icon that is a favourite at all events. A dream for excursions and historic rallies.
Our offer is a truly above-average vehicle from a prominent previous owner.
