BMW 315/1 on üks BMW varase autoloo olulisemaid sportmudeleid ning kuulub margi esimeste tõeliste roadster’ite hulka. Mudelit esitleti 1934. aastal Berliini autonäitusel sportliku edasiarendusena sedaanmudelist BMW 315. Mudelinumbri lõpus olev „/1” viitas sportversioonile, millel oli kaheistmeline, madal ja voolujooneline roadster-kere. 315/1 eristus tavalisest mudelist sügavale lõigatud uste, madala tuuleklaasi, elegantsete poritiibade ja selgelt sportlikuma olemuse poolest. See oli auto, millega BMW hakkas end üha kindlamalt siduma väikeste, kergete ja kiirete sportautodega.
Tehniliselt kasutas BMW 315/1 1,5-liitrist ridakuue mootorit, mille võimsus ulatus 40 hobujõuni, võrreldes tavalise BMW 315 34 hobujõuga. Tänu kergele avatud kerele ja sportlikumale seadistusele ulatus auto tippkiirus umbes 120–125 km/h-ni, mis oli oma aja kohta väga hea näitaja. BMW 315/1 sobis hästi nii maanteele kui ka sportlikumaks sõiduks ning aitas kujundada BMW mainet juhile suunatud väikeste sportautode tootjana. Tootmine kestis vaid lühikest aega, 1934. aasta aprillist 1935. aasta juulini, ning kokku valmis 230 eksemplari. Just seetõttu on BMW 315/1 tänapäeval väga haruldane ning ajalooliselt tähtis mudel, mis sillutas teed hilisematele BMW 319/1 ja 328 sportautodele.
Minu kollektsioonis olev mudel on Schuco toodang.
Tehnilised andmed lühidalt:
Tootmisaeg: 04/1934–07/1935
Tootmiskoht: Saksamaa
Mootor: 1,5 l ridakuus
Võimsus: 40 hj
Tootmisarv: 230 autot
Eripära: üks BMW esimesi tõelisi sport-roadstereid ja hilisemate 319/1 ning 328 eelkäija
The BMW 315/1 is one of the most important sporting models in BMW’s early automotive history and belongs among the brand’s first true roadsters. It was unveiled in 1934 at the Berlin Motor Show as a sporting development of the BMW 315 sedan. The “/1” at the end of the model name indicated the sports version, featuring a low, streamlined two-seat roadster body. Compared with the standard model, the 315/1 stood out through its deeply cut doors, low windscreen, elegant fenders and much more purposeful sporting character. It was one of the cars that helped BMW establish itself as a maker of small, lightweight and fast sports cars.
Technically, the BMW 315/1 used a 1.5-litre inline-six producing 40 horsepower, compared with 34 horsepower in the standard BMW 315. Thanks to its lightweight open body and sportier setup, the car could reach a top speed of around 120–125 km/h, which was a very strong figure for its era. The BMW 315/1 was well suited both to road use and to more spirited driving, and it helped shape BMW’s reputation as a builder of driver-focused small sports cars. Production lasted only a short time, from April 1934 to July 1935, and a total of 230 examples were built. That makes the BMW 315/1 both very rare today and historically significant as a model that paved the way for later BMW sports cars such as the 319/1 and the 328.
The model in my collection is produced by Schuco.
