In the 1930s, BMW was already well known for producing quality motorcycles and had just begun developing prestigious motor cars. The racing successes from the BMW 328 in 1936 fired public interest in the model; in 1937 the manufacturer responded with the introduction of the BMW 327, a two-seater sports convertible. The soft top 327 became the basis for a fixed-top touring coupe, introduced one year later and featuring a shorter wheelbase. The example we're offering is chassis number 57870.
With a sporty lower suspension, production ran from 1936 to 1940. Specifications included a straight six OHV engine with a four-speed transmission, an aluminium body and top speed of 93 miles per hour. Its narrow radiator grille complemented a design that was sleek and streamlined, innovative for its time and which typified the thirties. The production model had a top speed of 78 miles per hour and featured hydraulic brake control, with the same axle as the 328 but a gearbox and clutch shared from the 326.
The 327 is a very beloved model as it combines comfort with performance thanks to its 3 carbs engine. Powered by the correct straight-6 engine but featuring a second SOLEX carb. The car was restored some years ago to the highest standards and presents this lovely two-tone color blend from white of dark blue…. The 327 was a big seller, 1396 versions were built between 1937 and 1941 and there was a significant further production after 1945.
