The prototype BMW 328 roadster was first seen at the 1936 Eifelrennen at the Nurburgring when it was driven to 1st place by Ernst Henne. The 328 was powered by a 6-cylinder engine designed by Rudolf Schleicher with a revolutionary new cylinder head with triple Solex carburetors giving the car tremendous performance without the need for supercharging. The 100 horsepower BMW 328s went on to win their class at the Mille Miglia, the 24 Hours of LeMans, the 24 Hours of Spa, and Britain's Tourist Trophy. Only 464 BMW 328s were built before 1940, and although they came in a surprising array of colors, nearly half were white and only 18 were black.
This car is the 14th BMW 328 to be finished and one of just 6 black cars delivered in 1937. It was used by the German army during World War II, then disappeared until 1953, when it was sold to a U.S. army officer stationed in Europe who kept it for 37 years. Its current owner acquired it in 2004.
