It used the same chassis as the 315 saloon and had an engine of the same displacement. However, with compression ratio increased to 6.8:1 from 5.6:1 in the saloon, and with the use of three Solex carburetors, power increased to 40.6PS (40hp/ 30kW) at 4300 rpm, while the roadster bodywork reduced kerb weight to 750kg (1,653lb). Production of the 315/ 1 ended in 1936. 242 examples were built. The BMW 319 and 319/ 1 were introduced in 1935.
