1935 BMW 319 news, pictures, and information | ||
| Tweet | ||
Designed by Peter Schimanowski, the two–seater BMW Roadster introduced during the 1930's and became the model for which would hint at BMW's sleek styling for the next few years.
With a top speed of 81 mph, the 319's came with three carburetors and 55bhp. Standard 319 engines came only equipped with 45 bhp.
Gradually improving the recovering car market in Germany, the roadsters helped to improve the company's image. With attractive features that were striking, the streamlined shapes appealed to the eye.
Shown with the 1490cc engine at the early 1935 Berlin Motor Show, the engine was different from regular 215s. The 319 was much lighter and with a powerful standard 74mph.

The brothers competed in European rallies using Frazer Nashes. They were impressed by the BMW 314's performance in the Alpine trials that they arranged to import the model and sell it as a Frazer Nash-BMW in the United Kingdom. Relationships between England and the Third Reich were already testy by this point, and it was thought that renaming the car might enable them to sell it.
Peter Szymanowski was the individual who designed the 315 roadster. He later became BMW Chief of design after World War II. It grew from 1,490 cc at its introduction at the 1935 Frankfurt Auto show into the 1,911-cc model 319, which boasted a top speed of 81 mph, thanks to its three Solex carburetors, and 55 bhp. The 328 roadster was the ultimate variation, whose engine was to be used in Bristol cars after World War II and also in the AC Ace.
This 1935 Frazer Nash-BMW 319 Roadster is a right-hand drive roadster that is powered by a 1911cc OHC six-cylinder engine with three Solex carburetors. The car has wire wheels and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes.
In 2011, the car was offered for sale at RM Auctions' Arizona sale where it was estimated to sell for $150,000 - $200,000 and offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $198,000 including buyer's premium.
