BMW 327 '39 1939

General description : Belgian car Rarely seen in this overall good condition BMW history at its finest The BMW 327 was built from 1937 to 1941. It is a not atypical sporty coupé or convertible that is meant to be very efficient and aerodynamic. Only approx. 2.000 units were produced in four years. After the WWII, BMW decided to restart production, and about 500 more models were made using rapidly advancing German technology. The BMW 327 was at the forefront of the concept of German automotive know-how. BMW owes the design of the 327 to Fritz Fiedler, an engineer and designer who had previously worked at Auto Union (now Audi). The design had to be elegant and prestigious, yet a sporty streamline could not be ignored as aerodynamics was an innovative factor among car manufacturers in the interwar period. The chassis was a shortened version of the chassis of its predecessor, the BMW 326. Also, the engine was the same one as the predecessor’s engine: a 1971 cc in-line-six engine that delivers 55 hp to the rear wheels. There is four manual gears to shift between and a top speed of 125 km/h is achieved, which is quite fast for a car from that time. The car was produced as a coupé and as a convertible, both of which are very rare interwar classics and true collector’s items. During the war, this car was mainly used by diplomats and politicians of the Allies to move around. For example, Hitler's wife, Eva Braun, was a big fan of the BMW 327. After World War II, the BMW factory in Eisenach was taken over by the Soviets. They decided to bring a very similar derivative of the 327 to the market, named the EMW 327. The logo is the same as that of BMW, but EMW's logo is red instead of blue. The EMW 327 was produced in very limited quantities, until 1955 about 500 cars were manufactured. Due to the unique design that gave rise to German class and German car know-how, the car has become a true icon among interwar cars, and many others, and is highly sought after by classic car enthusiasts and collectors. In total, only 2.000 were produced, and eight decades after the end of production, there are unfortunately few remaining. For that reason, a BMW 327 is a great investment.

About BMW

ChatGPT
Bayerische Motoren Werke, commonly known as BMW, has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1916. Initially established as an aircraft-engine manufacturer during World War I, BMW faced restrictions on aircraft production after the war. In response, the company shifted its focus to motorcycle production in 1923, marking the beginning of its involvement in the automotive industry. Subsequently, BMW entered the world of automobiles in 1928 by producing the DIXI, essentially a licensed version of the Austin 7 from the Austin Motor Company.

In the 1930s, BMW began to establish itself as a manufacturer of elegant and high-performance vehicles. One notable model from this era is the BMW 327, introduced in 1937. The 327 was available as both a coupe and a cabriolet, showcasing the brand's commitment to luxury and style. Additionally, BMW achieved success in sports car racing during this period, particularly with the BMW 328. The 328, which debuted in 1936, became renowned for its performance and aerodynamics. BMW campaigned the 328 in various racing events, including the prestigious Mille Miglia, where the company introduced several aerodynamic specials.

The post-war era proved challenging for BMW, and the company faced financial difficulties that nearly led to bankruptcy. However, BMW managed to recover and rebuild, eventually becoming one of the leading premium automotive brands globally.

As the 1960s unfolded, BMW further solidified its reputation for producing sports-oriented and luxurious vehicles. In 1968, the BMW 2002 was introduced, marking the birth of the "New Class" of compact, sporty sedans. The 2002 gained popularity for its agile handling and performance, laying the foundation for BMW's sporty image.

Moving into the 1970s, BMW expanded its lineup with the introduction of the E9 platform, which included the iconic BMW 3.0 CS coupe. The E9 series showcased BMW's commitment to blending performance and luxury. In 1972, the M1, BMW's first mid-engined sports car, made its debut. The M1 was initially developed as a racing car but later became a road-going model. The M1 laid the groundwork for BMW's high-performance M series.

In the late 1970s, the BMW E24 6 Series was introduced, offering a combination of luxury and performance. The 6 Series included models like the 630CS, 633CSi, and 635CSi, becoming a symbol of sophistication and driving pleasure.

Through these milestones and a commitment to innovation and performance, BMW has evolved into a powerhouse in the automotive industry, maintaining its status as one of the leading premium brands worldwide.
