The BMW 328 is the most successful and most beautiful sports cars of the 1930s. His success lay in the sum of its structural parameters: light weight, good aerodynamics, excellent engine and excellent chassis. With these qualities, the BMW 328 at that time already embodied the core values of the BMW brand of today: dynamics, aesthetics and innovation.

This year marks the dream sports car BMW 328 75th Birthday. To bring his anniversary of the Munich the BMW 328 homage. "With the BMW 328 tribute we would like to us from the passion and the spirit bow-inventor of the fathers of the BMW 328," says Karl Baumer, Director of BMW Group Classic.

"They have created an icon that represents a milestone in the history of the automobile." There is a great tribute when BMW 328 parts from exterior and interior of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). The high strength fiber is lighter than the aluminum used in the old 328 and still stable.

Where was always used the material at 328 tribute, it is also visible. Even in the choice of the other materials in and around the vehicle to show the current implementation of the original car's character. Fine leather, matte and high gloss black polished aluminum and carbon fiber interior reflected in the BMW 328 sports car, the character of the homage of the time.

In the vehicle there are also many details of the racing and play as on the successful racing career of the BMW 328. So the premiere of the vehicle was not held in 1936 at a Motor Show, but on the track. In his first race of the BMW 328, the entire outclassed, clearly more powerful competitors and dominated the following years, the race tracks of Europe.

The design of the BMW 328 tribute shows the modern interpretation of a highly emotional and dynamic roadster. According to his model of the BMW 328 is clearly a tribute as a sports car: Accurate Drawing Lines on the excited faces of the vehicle body. Within the dynamic low silhouette the result is a contrast between the tight work area and sharp edges.

The strong wedge shape of the vehicle to accelerate even at a standstill, the scoops reach behind the seats on the lines of the bonnet and forward them to the rear. Like the first test vehicle, the BMW 328, with which he gave his 1936 debut on the race track, the BMW 328 come homage without doors.

Openings and large air inlets produce a visual lightness in the front, while displaying the high air requirements of the powerful three-liter six-cylinder engine. The vertical double kidney kidney cited the vertical design of the former BMW models. The BMW 328 was at that time one of the first BMW.

The exterior design of the BMW 328 homage find many details that are reminiscent of the successful racing history of the BMW 328. For example, the slightly asymmetrical shaped windshield on a depression in the middle, the disc recalls the design of the cars of that time. At the same time it also shows the areas for pilot and co-pilot.

In addition, four wide leather straps secure the hood. Their modern quick-release fasteners for securing the hood transfer the race issue into the present day. On the scoop behind the driver show a large, silver "75" inSilber and a small writing including the reason for the BMW 328 homage.

In addition, projects as a striking detail of the patch patrol cap from the right. The large single round headlights are reminiscent of the 328 in the first ever integrated into the fenders headlights. The interior of the BMW 328 is a tribute to pure and reduced. The entire interior structure is made of carbon fiber.

Due to the special handling of the material, with openings and free-floating elements create an impression of the areas and levels of lightness. Two large areas, layer called to determine the interior. Both develop from the hood and extend into the interior. A layer extends toward the driver.

The second layer begins next to the scoop, forming a swing towards the passenger. The instrument cluster is housed in a high-quality aluminum housing. The case itself engages in its classic form, the design on stopwatches and going through two other openings, the two functions of the Masters Trip available: on one hand act as the iPhone's stopwatch to measure lap times and on the other hand, GPS-controlled road book.

By using two iPhones both driver and front passenger or co-pilot to use both functions simultaneously. be. (Ampnet / Sm)
