1938 BMW 327 Cabriolet

BMW (the Bayerische Motoren Werke) established its reputation as a sports car company with which to be reckoned when one of its 328 series cars won the Eifelrenne on Germany's Nurburgring in 1936. The company went on to win a series of races prior to World War Two.

The BMW 327 was longer, wider and heavier than the 328, but also sat four more comfortably. The 327 series was powered by a cleverly-designed 55 horsepower, six-cylinder motor. This 327 was manufactured in October 1938 and delivered to the BMW dealer Grossklos in Saarbrucken. It was restored in Belgium.

The pre-war BMW's are characterized by their advanced styling, fine performance, excellent handling and durability. Today, they are very sought-after cars.

This BMW 327 Sports Cabriolet was manufactured on October 4th of 1938, and delivered to BMW dealer, Grossklos, in Saarbrucken, Germany. The BMW 327, and later 328, were produced between 1938 and 1940. A total of 569 of these high-priced two-seat coupes and convertibles were made before World War II put an end to production. Nearly 500 were convertibles like this example. The car is powered by a 55 horsepower, six-cylinder engine coupled to a four-speed all-synchronized transmission.

The car was restored in 2008.
