At the time BMW, still a young company, already had an outstanding reputation for the construction of six-cylinder power units, hitting the headlines with the BMW 328 sports racer and once and for all gaining the status of a large-scale manufacturer through the successful BMW 326.<\/p>\n<p>The BMW 326 was also the car that set the design and constructional foundation for BMW\u2019s \ufb01rst Luxury Saloon. Still, the BMW 335 came with a longer suspension and chassis, a brand-new 3.5-litre straight-six developing maximum output of 90 hp, a torsion bar-sprung rear axle, powerful oil pressure brakes and wider tyres. And an exclusive innovation also introduced at the time was the all-synchromesh transmission. On account of the war, production of the BMW 335 ended in 1943 after completion of only 415 units. But even this small number of cars was sufficient to set the foundation for subsequent success in the luxury performance segment which came in 1951 when BMW presented the BMW 501 for the \ufb01rst time at the Frankfurt Motor Show.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/1939-bmw-335-gallery\/\">1939 BMW 335 Gallery<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>See full <a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/1939-bmw-335-gallery\/\">1939 BMW 335 Gallery<\/a> here<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/1939_BMW_3351.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"755\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/1939_BMW_3351.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"1939 BMW 335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/1939_BMW_3351.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/1939_BMW_3351-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/1939_BMW_3351-100x74.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/1939_BMW_3351-770x568.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/1939_BMW_3351-293x216.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n            <\/div><\/figure>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1939 BMW 335 No less than 70 years have passed since BMW\u2019s \ufb01rst entry into the luxury market.
