1,000 miles of fascination: The BMW 328 in the Mille Miglia 2013. BMW Group Classic results.
75 years after its debut in the legendary Mille Miglia endurance road race, the BMW 328 has now completed the latest edition of this tradition-steeped reliability trial in similarly impressive style. In signing up a total of nine BMW 328 models for this year?s event, BMW Group Classic once again demonstrated the close ties that bind the BMW brand to the Mille Miglia. All the examples of this historic sports car that lined up at the start of the world?s most celebrated classic event made it to the finish, displaying the same reliability that had helped the BMW 328 on its way to class victory in its spectacular premiere back in 1938.
