The purist cockpit features simplified instruments, consisting only of a tachometer, oil gauges, a coolant temperature readout and a gearshift position indicator. Both driver and passenger can mount their iPhone into special integrated docks for additional display functionality. No word on support for Blackberry or Android phones, yet.
Exterior styling is a modernized blend of nostalgia and functionality, featuring plenty of three-dimensional tension in the bodywork, a leaping wedge shape and lack of functional doors. The latter are replaced by deep recesses in the side of the vehicle, which allow drivers to simply climb into the cockpit. The front is capped by a wide, flat bumper with plenty of air openings to feed the three-litre, six-cylinder engine behind it. The headlights even feature inserts which replicate the black 'X' tape typically used on racing cars back in the day.
The 328 Hommage wears its skin tightly, while the rear end features a trunklid and taillamp 'L' shape that shouts to modern BMW sports models like the Z4 and 6 Series.
Happy 75th, 328!
