The real model: birth of a sporting legend
The BMW 328 was launched in 1936 as BMW sought to establish itself in the sports car market. Designed by Fritz Fiedler, this revolutionary car quickly became the Bavarian brand's flagship sports car . Its 2.0-liter inline-six engine, developing 80 horsepower, propelled this lightweight roadster to exceptional performance for the time.
The innovative tubular chassis and aerodynamic bodywork gave the 328 remarkable agility and a pure aesthetic that still influences BMW design today. Production, interrupted by World War II in 1940, never exceeded 464 examples, contributing to its rarity and legendary status.
Commercially, the BMW 328 was an immediate success both with the public and in motor racing, establishing BMW's sporting reputation and paving the way for future generations of Bavarian sports cars.
BMW in the 1930s: the emergence of a manufacturer
The creation of the 328 marked a pivotal period in BMW's history. Founded in 1916 as an aircraft engine manufacturer, Bayerische Motoren Werke diversified into the automotive industry in the early 1930s after acquiring the Dixi brand. This transition marked the beginning of the BMW automotive adventure.
The 1930s saw BMW develop its technical expertise and assert its brand identity. The 328 perfectly embodies this emerging philosophy: combining performance, technical innovation, and refined aesthetics. This period laid the foundations for what would later become the brand's core concept of "driving pleasure."
BMW's history during this decade demonstrates the adaptability and ambition of a manufacturer that, despite the economic and political turbulence of the time, managed to create exceptional automobiles that left a lasting mark on the global automotive industry.
The BMW 328: heroine of the Mille Miglia
One of the most glorious pages in the history of the BMW 328 was written on the Italian roads of the Mille Miglia . In 1938, a specially prepared 328 won this legendary race, demonstrating the technical superiority of the Bavarian roadster against the Italian competition on its own turf.
This resounding victory propelled BMW onto the international racing scene and established the brand's reputation for reliability . Drivers Fritz Huschke von Hanstein and Walter Bäumer covered the 1,600-kilometer race at a record average speed, proving that German engineering could rival the best Italian productions of the time.
Beyond the sporting achievement, this victory symbolized BMW's emergence as a leading manufacturer in the sports car industry. It also influenced European automotive culture in the 1930s, where performance became inseparable from prestige and technical innovation.
This anecdote perfectly illustrates the pioneering spirit that has driven BMW since its beginnings and explains why the 328 remains today an absolute reference for collectors and classic car enthusiasts.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
Does the model car come with protection?
Yes, each model car is systematically delivered in its protective box. This box preserves the collectible value and protects your model car from dust and shocks.
