1937 Frazer Nash-BMW 329 Cabriolet

Offered by RM Sotheby’s | Paris, France | February 2025

The late-1930s BMW 329 actually traces its roots back to their 303 model of 1933. This was the company’s first six-cylinder car, and the 329 was introduced in 1937 as a replacement for the 319.

Differences between the two are mostly down to styling, which was much more contemporary here than on the outgoing model. Power is from a 1.9-liter inline-six that made about 45 horsepower. This car is said to have a 2.0-liter unit.

Frazer Nash comes into play because they were the UK distributor for BMW, which they sold hyphenated. This car was restored over 20 years ago and has spent time in the U.K., Portugal, and Belgium. It has an estimate of $55,000-$75,000. More info can be found here.
