Based on the sporty BMW 328 Roadster, a number of luxurious convertibles were built by external coachbuilders before World War 2. Actually, this two-seater sports car was mainly intended to be successful in racing, while the sister models 326 and 327 were intended to satisfy the comfort wishes of private customers. However, since the 328 was fitted with a more powerful six-cylinder engine, there were soon interested customers who wanted to drive such a vehicle in everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short history of the BMW 328<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

BMW presented the 328 at the 1936 Eifel Race at the N\u00fcrburgring, where one of the cars with Ernst Jakob Henne at the wheel directly won the class up to two liters displacement. Initially, only the works team received its first vehicles. The 328 didn’t go on sale until February 1937, when a two-liter inline six-cylinder engine with an initial output of 59 kW\/80 hp was concealed under the long hood. The 30 additional horsepower compared to the 326 resulted from a newly developed aluminium cylinder head. This received hemispherical combustion chambers with V-shaped hanging valves as well as three Solex downdraft carburetors. In later years, BMW built racing engines with up to 135 hp for racing versions equipped with aerodynamic bodies by Touring in Italy, among others. All in all, the BMW 328 achieved more than 100 (class) victories before the war and was also successful in many countries after the war. In addition, the technical basis of the 328 served the British brands Bristol and Frazer Nash as well as in West Germany for Veritas and AFM and in East Germany for EMW as a means to build sports cars.<\/p>\n\n\n
