The BMW M328 is an overhead valve straight-six petrol internal combustion engine which was produced from 1936 to 1940. It was a high-performance development of the BMW M78 engine that was produced alongside the M78.
Compared with the M78, the M328 has an aluminium cross-flow cylinder head with hemispherical combustion chambers.
The M328 was used in the BMW 328 and BMW 327/28 coupes.
After World War II the engine was also licensed to Bristol Cars in the United Kingdom.




Design


The M328 had an unusual valvetrain design; although the camshaft is located in the engine block, the exhaust valves are actuated by a transverse pushrod from the intake valves. This results in a valve layout similar to a DOHC engine.
With a bore of 66 mm (2.60 in) and a stroke of 96 mm (3.78 in), the displacement was 1,971 cc (120.3 cu in), the same as its M78 predecessor. Fuel supply was via three Solex "30 JF downdraft" carburetors.
The M328 engine has a compression ratio of 7.5:1 and produces 59 kW (79 bhp) at 5000 rpm.
