As a complement to the 320 series fitted with a 6-cylinder engine producing 45 bhp, Bayerische Motoren Werke introduced the 326 series in 1936, with the same 6-cylinder engine producing 50 horsepower. The new model was available in 3 versions: a 4-door limousine at a price of 5500 Reichsmark (RM), a 2-door cabriolet at 6550 RM, and a 4-door cabriolet at 7200 RM. It was also possible for customers to purchase a bare chassis and have the body built themselves.
