1936 BMW 328 Roadster ! 120 HP BMW - Bristol Racing Engine !

. "A small brochure circulated among a select group of people in late 1935 revealed the existence of a new 2-litre sports car to be known as the “Typ 328”. The description of the car was deliberately low-key and avoided giving any performance or speed figures. The brochure was intended purely as an appetiser for “friends of the company”; there was no announcement in the press.

Journalists were left open-mouthed when they set eyes on the car for the first time in the Nürburgring paddock on 13 June 1936. There. Ernst Henne was preparing to race the 328 in the International Eifel Race the following day. The motorcycle world record holder roared away from his rivals off the start line and soon left the rest of the field trailing in his wake with a phenomenal average speed of 101. 5 km/h. This show of strength from the 328 had commentators purring about the future of the German sports car. However. few could have guessed that they were witnessing the dawn of a new era.

Of the 464 examples of the BMW 328 ever built. only around 200 have survived. some 120 of which are in Germany. Many still take part in historical races to this day. And cars from BMW Classic's own collection can regularly be found in the thick of the action – often with illustrious figures at the wheel. Indeed. in 2003 Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustav teamed with Prince Leopold of Bavaria for the reborn Mille Miglia – now run as a regularity test – in a BMW 328 Touring Roadster.

To be reminded of just how potent the 1940 cars still are today. you need only witness their journey to Italy for the event. There is not a transporter or trailer in sight; instead. just as they did 70 years ago. they travel from Munich to Brescia on their own power. And even more impressively. they complete the journey on a single tank of fuel; then. as now. the engines were not only powerful but also efficient. The drivers and cars can encounter a wide variety of weather conditions en route to Brescia and during the event itself. but nothing can dampen the spirits of the drivers and cars alike. Whether they're basking in 27 degrees Celsius on the Adriatic or shivering just above freezing in the snow and mist of Monte Terminillo. the teams experience everything the Italian climate can throw at them. And today. just as they did back then. they power to victory in sumptuous style. ".
