Vehicle history:
The first owner of this vehicle was a German man of Jewish descent named Stein, who bought the car on 14 February 1940 from a BMW dealer in Cologne. For understandable reasons, he emigrated to Illinois, USA in the spring. Mr Stein kept the car for about ten years and then sold it to a German-descended American in the state of Oklahoma. Due to a lack of spare parts, the BMW was no longer used from 1978 onwards. The resulting damage made it unfit for road use, and so the BMW was sold in 1989 to an interested party in Düsseldorf, Germany. The 327 was then completely restored and converted over a five-year period. As part of the restoration, the engine was replaced with an identical engine from the 326 series and rebuilt. The electronics were also brought up to the then-current state of the art. Only in 1995 was the vehicle registered and driven by the then owner. In spring 2008 the coupé changed hands for the last time. The BMW is now excellently documented. The entire history has been written from the perspective of the third owner. All invoices, documents and receipts are available, as are photos of the restoration and several expert reports.
