 8W - What? - AFM
Von Falkenhausen was one of the few lucky owners of a BMW 328 sportscar and with this he nearly instantly began racing again as soon as the war was over.
The new car, the first one to be called AFM (Alexander von Falkenhausen, München), was a so-called "intertype", a two-seater sportscar with detachable wings and lights, which thus could be used in Formula races as well.
Of course this meant that the car had to be as simple as possible and therefore von Falkenhausen abandoned the space frame and returned to a rather conventional double-tube frame.
