Roadster Engine Num: 85377   The 328, produced at the BMW factory between 1936 and 1940, was bodied by Fritz Fiedler, who had joined the company from Horch in 1932. It was a light, stylish, and aerodynamic sports car with advanced features like a tubular space frame chassis and a 6-cylinder engine with twin overhead valves and a hemispherical head, which could produce 80 bhp and deliver speeds of 100 mph. And the car was priced at just $3,500, a bargain for such quality performance. The car was considered by many journalists to be one of the best cars of the era, and it is still considered one of the premier prewar vehicles. This car was delivered on April 6, 1939, to Walter Dingel, a lieutenant in the German army in Magdeburg, Germany. He raced the car in local events, and during World War II, he hid the car in the mechanic's shop. The car was eventually rediscovered and restored to original condition.
