The BMW 319 and 319/1 were introduced in 1935. They differed from the 315 and 315/1 mainly in that the dimensions of the engines were increased. The new, larger engine had a bore of 65 mm (2.6 in), and a stroke of 96 mm (3.8 in), resulting in a displacement of 1,911 cc (116.6 cu in). This resulted in an increase in power to 45 bhp (33.6 kW) at 3750 rpm in the base 319 and 55 bhp (41 kW) at 4000 rpm in the 319/1 roadster. The kerb weight of the 319 was 850 kg (1,874 lb), and the fuel capacity was 40 L (11 US gal; 9 imp gal).
A total of 6,646 BMW 319s of all types were built by the end of production in 1937. 102 of these were 319/1 roadsters.
