The BMW 328 will be featured at the 2015 Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, scheduled for March 12-15 at the Golf Club of Amelia Island in Florida. The 20th annual Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance will showcase the legend and legacy of the car that set BMW on its path to become known as the “ultimate driving machine.”<\/p>\n

Eight decades ago BMW responded to a national call that Germany should build not only the world\u2019s fastest and greatest pure racing cars, but the world\u2019s best sports cars as well. While Mercedes-Benz and Auto-Union carried Germany\u2019s racing colors on the grand prix circuit, BMW became Germany\u2019s primary flag carrier in international sports car competition.<\/p>\n

The BMW 328 struck just the right balance with elegant and aerodynamic styling, impeccable road manners plus advanced and inspired engineering. Even BMW\u2019s signature nieren split grill that survives to this day as a BMW styling hallmark remains an important component of the 328 design package. So was real world open road performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 328 is the car that set BMW on its current course,\u201d said Bill Warner, Founder and Chairman of the Amelia Island Concours d\u2019Elegance. \u201cThe poise, speed and stamina of the 328 and its descendants are the roots of BMW\u2019s reputation and give genuine credibility to BMW\u2019s \u2018Ultimate Driving Machine\u2019 label.\u201d<\/p>\n

Competition was at the heart of the 328\u2019s genesis. It debuted on the 14-mile Nurburgring\u2019s 154-turn Nordschleife, winning the sports car class of the 1936 Eifel Race. That first BMW 328 prototype not only won the two-liter class (without supercharging), but also achieved the best time of all sports cars. The BMW 328 then won the Belgian Grand Prix des Frontieres in Chimay and the Bucharest Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe star of the BMW 328 class for our 20th anniversary is the unique 328 Buegelfalte (\u2018trouser crease,\u2019 for the razor edge fender styling) roadster,\u201d said Warner, \u201cIt finished sixth in the 1940 Mille Miglia and is the only 328 special roadster built at the BMW factory. We\u2019re honored to have it on the field for our 20th anniversary concours.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Amelia Island Concours 2015 will be held March 13-15th on the 10th and 18th fairways of The Golf Club of Amelia Island at the Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island. The show\u2019s Foundation has donated over $2.5 million to Community Hospice of Northeast Florida, Inc. and other charities on Florida\u2019s First Coast since its inception in 1996. In 2013 the Amelia Island Concours d\u2019Elegance won Octane Magazine\u2019s EFG International Historic Motoring Event of the Year award.<\/p>\n
