1940 BMW 328 Mille Miglia Kamm Coupé IN 2010 BMW completed an exacting replica of their 328 Kamm Coupé which raced the 1940 Mille Miglia. This was one of five BMWs that paritipated in the race which was eventually won by the 328 Touring Coupé to the upset of the Italian officials. Although BMW credits the design to themselves, this Coupe borrowed many of its elements from the Wendler Coupé.

Today the BMW racing cars which made history in the 1940 Mille Miglia continue to enthral and delight wherever they go. For many years, however, the fleet of silver BMW racers has been one car short. The BMW 328 Kamm Coupé, named after the German aerodynamics pioneer Wunibald Kamm, disappeared without trace back in 1953.

But now - 70 years after BMW's famous Mille Miglia victory. The BMW 328 Kamm Coupé, named after the German aerodynamics pioneer Wunibald Kamm, disappeared without trace back in 1953. But now.

One of three experimental aerodynamic prototypes built for the 1940 war-affected Mille Miglia, this unique 328 was designed by Wunibald Kamm. "BMW built five 328 Kamms Coupes to compete in the 1940 Mille Miglia, a high-speed, thousand-mile race that favored cars with good aerodynamic qualities. Its model designation is derived in part from the name of Wunibald Kamm, the German aerodymanics expert who determined that the aerodynamic qualities of a vehicle would improve significantly.

The BMW 328 Kamm Coupe was one of five unique BMWs that competed the 1940 Mille Miglia 1000. In the 1940 Mille Miglia they swept the BMW 328s. But in addition, the Kamm Coupé was an interesting aerodynamic experiment in which to test the benefits of an abruptly cut rear.
