Then the Bavarian factory was renamed Eisenacher Motorenwerk, the brand became known as EMW, and the white and blue propeller logo was repainted in white and red.

 

In the same year, the prestigious EMW 340 model appeared, which inherited its chassis from the BMW 326, but received an updated body with a horizontal grille and headlights integrated into the front fenders.
