The history of the BMW 328 is well known and widely documented, so here is just a short version: To replace the 315/1 and 319/1 sports models, BMW needed a significantly faster racing model in the mid-1930s, but could not afford to spend much money on it. The developers Fritz Fiedler and Rudolf Schleicher therefore used existing parts. They combined the frame of the BMW 319 with the six-cylinder engine, enlarged to 1971 cm3, and a gearbox from Hurth.
