willeica Posted March 13, 2018 Share #10822 Â Posted March 13, 2018 I agree with Wilson. Some 327 models were also produced under the name EMW. Â William Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

onca Posted March 13, 2018 Share #10824  Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) Bristol?  The BMW had the Aircirculation-Openings at the Sides of the Front-Car. The Bristol did not have. And the Bristol was only a Coupé. Edited March 13, 2018 by blackjag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

onca Posted March 13, 2018 Share #10826 Â Posted March 13, 2018 Could it be a Horch ? Â I had the same Idea. But the Horchs almost have the Reserve-Wheel at its sides as you can see here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hektor Posted March 13, 2018 Share #10828  Posted March 13, 2018 That is the 55 bhp 327. There was 327/28 with the 80 bhp engine from the 328. It can be identified by the louvres under the windscreen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted March 14, 2018 Share #10834  Posted March 14, 2018 That is the 55 bhp 327. There was 327/28 with the 80 bhp engine from the 328. It can be identified by the louvres under the windscreen.  They are very tuneable as well. We are getting close to 140HP from our 328 and around 80-85HP from our 1936 319 rally car. Admittedly there is a lot of Bristol content in the 328 engine but since it has been like that since it was raced by Lady Betty Haig in the 1940's, it is accepted by the FIA.  Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
willeica Posted March 14, 2018 Share #10835  Posted March 14, 2018 The story of the Eisenacher Motorenwerk which produced EMW/BMW models, including the 327, is an interesting one. BMW had acquired the Eisenach factory in 1928 and it was used to produce BMW models.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobilwerk_Eisenach  The EMW company even competed in the 1953 German Grand Prix. As the factory was in the Soviet bloc, BMW could not bring proceedings over the production of some of its models after WWII. Production of BMW based models ceased in 1955 and in 1956 the Wartburg was introduced by the factory at Eisenach. It is an interesting side story about how BMW was affected by the division of Germany after WWII.  William 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
willeica Posted March 14, 2018 Share #10836  Posted March 14, 2018 Further to my previous post, details about the EMW racing team are here. It was the only team from a Communist country to have participated in the top level of motor sport.  http://8w.forix.com/df2-emw.html  This website also gives details about the wide range of racing specials based on the BMW 328 which were around in the early post war years.  William 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
