Equipment

Body color centerlock wheels, leather hood straps, fender skirts, dual side mirrors, semaphores, dual side mirrors, aluminum cylinder head and triple Solex carbs. Excellent paint, bodywork and trim. Large array of clean and impressive dash switches. A strong 328, visually and mechanically. Now running a Volvo gearbox (original ZF box included.)

Market commentary

It would be hard to find a better ride for a large array of historic events and tours than this BMW 328, and it brings with it charming looks, excellent performance and a lineage that includes storied race cars. There were a lot of cars selling far beyond this 328s price, but few that bring entry to so many events.
