When talking about the BMW 303, one must immediately think about its innovative 'kidney grill' front-end design that would later become company's very trademark. Available in either a 2-door saloon or 2-door cabriolet body style, the all-new 303 model was BMW's very first vehicle to feature a 6-cylinder inline engine (1.2L displacement and 30 hp) based on 3/20's 788cc unit. Car's on-road performances also improved compared to its successor, reaching a 56-mph top speed. This model was discontinued in 1934, as designer Fritz Fiedler decided to focus his attention on developing an all-new 4-door saloon 326 model. The BMW 303 was produced in only 2,300 units and was replaced by the 315 model.
