The BMW 327 was presented in November 1937, initially in the Sport-Cabriolet version, and impressed with its harmonious design, a synthesis between the aggressive look of the 328 roadster, presented at the beginning of the year, and the sober and refined one of the 316 and 320 cabriolets. The 327 shared much of the mechanics with its sisters 320 and 326: the chassis was identical tothe 320 while the engine was the 6-cylinder in-line overhead valve of the 326, modified in the compression ratio to develop 55 HP. The 328 Sport-Coupé arrived in October 1938, offering a more comfortable and spacious interior than that of the open-top version. It was less popular than the Sport-Cabriolet despite having a more streamlined and elegant appearance. Production, which ceased in 1941 due to the conflict, as for all BMW cars, stopped at just 178-179 examples of Sport-Coupé, while for the Sport-Cabriolet it reached 1124 examples. The example in question, chassis 74170, was registered on 03/18/1940. Nothing is known about its past history, except that it has undergone a major restoration by a well-known German specialist. Since 2012 it has become part of the current owner's collection, and is in excellent condition. The vehicle has been completely restored with bodywork, interior and mechanics, running perfectly and in perfect condition. It features a 12V electrical system compared to the expected 6V, but this is a change expected during the period of use. The car is ideal for participating in concours d’elegance given the streamlined coupé bodywork, as well as for regularity races.
