subject: Classic Car News: In With The Old And In With The New [print this page] The sleek 328 roadster built in 1940 not only keeps reminiscences of BMWs golden past alive but also helps auto enthusiasts fathom the brands deep roots in the auto history. AutoMotto.org reports that BMW are unveiling a 328 Mille Miglia Concept Coupe at the Concorso dEleganza Villa dEste at the end of this month, marking the occasion of its victory in Mille Miglia 70 years ago.
Showing how much inspiration the past can provide for the future, Karl Baumer, Director of BMW Group Classic, has said we are very proud to bring this milestone in motor racing history and vehicle aerodynamics back into the public spotlight.
PistonHeads.com has reported that the 328 Mille Miglia Concept Coupe will feature alongside the original car on the weekend of the 23rd April, which has been through a decade-and-a-half-long restoration. Coveted for its rarity and beauty, the BMWs 328 coupe was built especially to race in the 1940 Mille Miglia with particular attention to make it lightweight and aerodynamic. It may not sound too impressive compared to modern day cars but it certainly won a place in BMWs history, reports AutoMotto.org.
The BMW coupe has been described as an outstanding example of how far the future at BMW stretches back, according to PistonHeads.com, and with the reintroduction of the classic automobile we will get to see the passion and professionalism invested by all those involved both all those years ago and today.
