Equipment
1,971/79hp, three Solex carburetors, 4-speed, centerlock wheels, Michelin tires, fender skirts, cloth boot cover, banjo steering wheel.
Condition
Originally owned by works BMW motorcycle racer Ernst J Henne. Some restoration work done in the 2000s, and work was continued/finished under Ponder's ownership that started in 2018. Currently has Bristol cylinder head. Some marks in the grille trim and a small dent in the right bumperette. Mostly good paint with a handful of chips around some panel edges. Good interior other than cracks in the steering wheel rim. A nice, drivable 328 with some neat ownership history.
Market commentary
This is not the race-winning tuned BMW 327 of legend. It is a 328 with a detuned 327 engine and luxurious bodywork with comfortable room for four, an autobahn cruiser with satisfying but not electrifying performance. It was sold by Worldwide at Scottsdale in 2019 for $264,000 and it's been finished since then, but that result was an aberration and this one makes sense.
