Summary[edit]

Description

Impressionen von der Oldtimermeile am Thüringentag 2013 in Sondershausen.

In den Nachkriegsjahren wurde das zu 60 % zerstörte Automobilwerk in Eisenach wieder aufgebaut – zu Beginn unter sowjetischer Verwaltung, später als Betrieb des Industrieverbands Fahrzeugbau. Die Produktion des Vorkriegs-BMW 327 wurde fast unverändert wieder aufgenommen. Nach einem Rechtsstreit mit dem jetzt westdeutschen BMW-Konzern ab Juni 1952 allerdings unter dem Namen EMW 327. Zwischen 1949 und 1955 wurden etwas mehr als 500 Stück gefertigt.

Während der Produktion bei EMW wurde die Form der Motorhaube geändert, die ursprünglich in die Seitenteile des Vorderwagens hineinreichte und mit je einem Griff vorn links und rechts zu entriegeln war. Somit sind Fahrzeuge mit seitlich nicht heruntergezogener und von innen zu entriegelnder Motorhaube immer EMWs (kein Spalt unter den seitlichen Lüftungsgittern). Weiterhin wurde bei EMW eine Karosserie-Sicke über den Radläufen in die Kotflügel eingebracht. Vorkriegs-BMWs und aus Restbeständen montierte Nachkriegs-BMW/EMWs hatten diese Sicke nicht. Am Coupé waren die Türen nun auch vorne angeschlagen. Das modernisierte Armaturenbrett des EMW 340 sowie das Lenkrad mit damals aktueller Lenkradschaltung wurden übernommen.

During the 1930s, Eisenach was the centre of BMW’s automobile manufacturing. In 1945, Eisenach was occupied by United States forces. However, the wartime allies had already agreed that Thuringia would fall within the Soviet occupation zone. BMW's automobile factory in Eisenach was not fully destroyed, and assembly of the 327 resumed. Clear production figures are hard to obtain, but many of the 327s surviving with collectors into the twenty-first century were post-war products. After the war, it became clear that the Soviets would not return the Eisenach factory to BMW. BMW-branded automobiles produced between 1946 and 1951 were therefore being produced outside the control of BMW headquarters in Munich. This cause a protracted dispute concerning title to the BMW brand and other assets, but in 1952 it was determined that Eisenach-produced models such as the 327s should be badged as EMW (Eisenacher Motoren Werke) rather than as BMW (Bayerische Motoren Werke). EMW changed their badge from BMW's blue and white roundel to a red and white roundel.

It is not clear how many of the post war 327s were branded as BMWs and how many as EMWs, but probably more than 500 were produced with one or other of the badges.
