BMW 328

BMW's six-cylinder sports car of 1936–40: built at Eisenach, a winner in its first race and outright winner of the 1940 Mille Miglia, sold in Britain as the Frazer Nash-BMW 328, and the source of the six that powered Bristol's first cars.

The first race

On Sunday 14 June 1936 Ernst Henne, BMW's motorcycle record-breaker, took a white two-seater with no doors to the Eifelrennen at the Nürburgring and won the unsupercharged two-litre sports-car race. The car was chassis 85001, the first of three prototypes, and this was the BMW 328's first appearance anywhere. BMW says the debut went unannounced in the press, and that the race was run in rain and mist.

With all the top-brass of BMW present Henne did not dissappoint them, and the new prototype sports car had a fairy-tale win on the prestigious 14-mile Nurburgring. Thus was born the BMW Type 328.

The car in brief

The 328 grew out of BMW's sports roadsters of 1934, the 315/1 and 319/1, and kept their layout: a stiff frame of two steel tubes, independent front suspension by a transverse leaf spring and wishbones, and a live rear axle on leaf springs. Its engine was the 326 saloon's (sedan's) six-cylinder block under a new aluminium head by Rudolf Schleicher, with inclined valves, hemispherical combustion chambers and short cross pushrods, fed by three downdraught carburettors; Fritz Fiedler designed the chassis. BMW credits its body engineer Wilhelm Kaiser with the production body, drawn from the prototypes and given doors, a folding vee windscreen (windshield) and a spare wheel set into the tail.

The car was built at Eisenach, in Thuringia. Series production began in the spring of 1937, and BMW says the first customers had their cars in late April that year. Denis Jenkinson dated the end of production to August 1939, when the war turned BMW to other work; BMW's own records run the model to 1940. The number built is in the figures below, and the specifications give every reading, the price new among them.⁠6​5​4​7

The versions

Most 328s were open two-seaters with BMW's standard body: the roadster. BMW's archive record lists bodies by coachbuilders too, among them Wendler's cabriolets and two closed streamliners drawn by Koenig-Fachsenfeld. In Britain, AFN Ltd of Isleworth imported the car with right-hand drive and sold it as the Frazer Nash-BMW 328. For racing, BMW built the Mille Miglia cars: the works roadsters of 1938, the streamlined roadsters of 1940 and the Kamm coupé. Carrozzeria Touring of Milan built the body of the Touring coupé for Le Mans in 1939.

The line-up below sets the versions side by side, and BMW 328 Versions adds the other coupés and the cars related to the 328.⁠7​8​9​4​10

The racing record, in brief

The 328 raced before it was sold, and it won often. At the Tourist Trophy at Ards in September 1936, a handicap race won outright by a Riley, three 328s took the first three places in the two-litre class and the team prize. Le Mans in 1937 went badly: all three cars retired, two of them in an accident on the eighth lap in which Pat Fairfield, one of their drivers, was killed. In April 1938 A. F. P. Fane, AFN's driver, won the two-litre class of the Mille Miglia in one of BMW's works cars, entered in Frazer Nash's name, and that July three works cars finished the Spa 24 Hours 3rd, 4th and 5th overall, side by side across the line. At Le Mans in 1939 the Touring coupé finished 5th overall and won the two-litre class, with two roadsters 7th and 9th.

On 28 April 1940, on a closed road circuit from Brescia, Huschke von Hanstein and Walter Bäumer won the Mille Miglia outright in the Touring coupé. BMWs were also 3rd, 5th and 6th, and took the team prize. Every season is told on BMW 328 Racing History.⁠1​11​12​13​14​15​16​17​18

The engine's second life

The engine outlived the car. In 1945 H. J. Aldington of AFN, by then working with the Bristol Aeroplane Company, went to Munich more than once and brought back BMW drawings, engines and one of the 1940 Mille Miglia roadsters. Bristol's own historians have its first engine on the 328's pattern running in May 1946, and the Bristol six that grew from it powered every Bristol from the 400 to the 406, and the post-war Frazer Nashes. Fritz Fiedler joined AFN in 1947 and was lent to Bristol as a consultant on the 400.

In Germany the cars raced on. On 11 May 1947, at Hockenheim, Karl Kling won the two-litre sports-car race in the Kamm coupé, entered by Ernst Loof, whom BMW names as the director of its racing division until early 1941. BMW 328 Engine follows the six from Munich to Bristol and beyond.⁠19​8​20​21​10

Forerunners, rivals, markets and the press

The 315/1 and the 319/1, which BMW built in small numbers from 1934, gave the 328 its layout. After the 328, BMW built no two-seater sports car until the 507 of 1955; in Britain its heirs were the Bristol 400 and the post-war Frazer Nash, through the engine. The history tells both lines.

In Britain, by Motor Sport's lists of 1937 and 1938, the Frazer Nash-BMW 328 cost more than the SS 100, the HRG and the Triumph Dolomite, and less than the Aston Martin Speed Model and the Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 B. On the track its class rivals were Adler's streamlined saloons and the Aston Martins: an Adler took the two-litre class at Le Mans in 1937 and an Aston Martin at the 1938 Tourist Trophy, but the 328s beat the Adlers at Spa in 1938 and the Aston Martin at Le Mans in 1939.

Britain had the car under its own name and badge, with right-hand drive, and at least one British body: a two-colour Bertelli coupé at the 1936 London Motor Show. Elsewhere, by BMW's factory records as the Simeone museum cites them, a 1937 roadster went to the Dutch BMW importer in Rotterdam in February 1938, and privately run 328s raced in the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Romania and Finland.

BMW quotes the German papers praising Henne's first win. In Britain Motor Sport reported in October 1937 that the Frazer Nash-BMW had a high reputation among British enthusiasts, and its verdicts are gathered in the history.⁠6​19​22​23​1​16​9​24​25​3​4

BMW's heritage cars

BMW has honoured the 328 with two concept cars and a reconstruction. In 2006 it showed the Concept Coupé Mille Miglia, a tribute to the Touring coupé, at the Mille Miglia in Brescia. In 2010 BMW Classic built a reconstruction of the Kamm coupé, whose original had been scrapped after an accident in the early 1950s. For the 75th anniversary in 2011 came the BMW 328 Hommage, unveiled at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este and bodied largely in exposed carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic.⁠26​27​28

Where the 328s are now

BMW's own estimates of how many survive are on the roadster page. Of the British cars, the Frazer Nash Archives count all but two as surviving. BMW keeps the Touring coupé, which it acquired in 2002, and a 1940 Mille Miglia roadster in its collection in Munich, and road cars stand in museums, the Simeone Foundation's 1937 roadster in Philadelphia among them, still unrestored.

In May 2026, the car's 90th year, the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este gave Best of Show to the "Bügelfalte" (chassis 85032), the roadster BMW rebodied in Munich in the autumn of 1939 on the chassis of the 1938 Mille Miglia class winner.⁠8​10​29​25​4​3​30
