History

By 1937, the time was ripe for BMW, which until then had only been involved in aeronautical and motorcycle engines, to seriously enter the high and most profitable segments of the automotive industry. This was made possible thanks to the presentation of the luxurious 327, a Cabriolet driven by a two-liter six-cylinder engine. The car, although imposing and refined, was nevertheless penalized by the power of only 55 horsepower, which made it slow and un agile in everyday use. But already in August of that year came the flagship version of the range, namely the 327/28, which as the name suggests, received a substantial "bonus" of power thanks to the adoption of the engine of the sports car 328, which many successes collected in those years in the competitive field. The power increased to 80 hp and the top speed to 145 km/h and this version was available as both a coupe and a convertible. The need to propose a similar model was to be found in the partial consensus initially received by the 327 range, due to the low power of its engine, whose 55 hp could certainly not be enough for a car that wanted to present itself to the market as a sports car. The 327/28 was therefore born with the intention of finally tickling the interest of potential customers, representing the perfect synthesis between the strengths of a luxury convertible car and those of a sports car, the same recipe that BMW resumed thirty years later, for its "M" versions. The 327/328 was produced in only 569 units and today it is a very rare car to be found in original condition. Historical note: In the years leading up to World War II, 327/328 represented an exclusive status symbol for the hierarchies of the Third Reich and for many prominent figures in the political and social life of Nazi Germany.

Our BMW 327/328 Cabriolet

One of the most beautiful convertibles of the pre-war period. Produced in only 569 units.

This rare and precious 327/28, was imported from the United States over twenty-five years ago and has been part until last year, of an important Italian collection of historic cars. Since its last restoration, which took place about twenty years ago, this car has always been kept in perfect efficiency by its owner, who has also made important improvements to it, but always respecting the originality and historical value of the car.

The car is now in excellent body and mechanical condition.

The engine has been the subject of frequent revisions and maintenance over time, with the replacement of some components to ensure the best efficiency of the car.

When lifting the front bonnet, the engine immediately conveys an idea of great efficiency, also thanks to the construction solidity of all components.

Original detail, the presence of a cric and a wooden hammer arranged neatly inside the engine compartment, but in a housing dedicated to them, placed close to the windshield.

The capote is fully functional and there are no rainwater drawings or during car washes.

The interiors, expertly restored, maintain the charm you feel, sitting inside a car that went through the history of the second half of the 1900s.

The solid wood door panel inserts give the cockpit a feeling of solidity and timeless luxury, as well as the elegant three-spoke white steering wheel in bakelite and metal, or the classy internal pomellatura.

All the instrumentation on the dashboard has been completely overhauled and is fully functional. All finishes are of the highest level, especially when referring to the era of manufacture of the car, such as the instrumentation with white funds or the original and working radio.

This car today represents an important opportunity for any collector of the BMW brand or for a driver looking for a pre-war car that is easy to drive, with good performance, of great comfort and with a class that goes beyond time.

Today the prices of a BMW 327/328 are very interesting for a car with these characteristics and with this coat of vehicles.
