In the 328 Roadster, BMW produced a car which became a legend of sports car and racing history. 

Introduced in the year of the 1936 Berlin Olympics, this compact two-seater with leather straps across the hood came to dominate the racing scene in Germany and around the world in the second half of the thirties. 

The bodywork of the 328 had remarkably clean and sleek styling for its time. The integrated headlamps set a trend which was to survive well into the fifties. The handful of 328 models with streamlined aluminum bodies even became a styling model for an entire generation of sports cars in the postwar era, including the Jaguar XK series. 

Mixing the 2.0 liter six of the 327 with a lightweight, short-wheelbase chassis, the 328's sporting success culminated in an outright win at the 1940 Mille Miglia. 

The 328 was recently nominated for Car of the Century.
