No, far from that.
Most of these 'loose replicas' are VW-based, but the bonnet scoop suggest a front engine. With these proportions Ii would think longitudinal rather than transverse. Could the basis be a Ford Cortina (or its Taunus equivalent)
30's BMW based ? Although it looks a bit too smooth for a BMW from the early years
I'm trying to get in touch with someone who should definetely know it.
Please be a little patient I return to you soon.

Thanks for your patience. :)
Now I got everything I liked to know. It's indeed BMW based.
How about a BMW Eigenbau ? Or Veritas-BMW ? Picture looks from a later date than 30's, so I guess 1950-1955 ?

Right time frame, but I would not call it 'Eigenbau'.
Is the picture taken in Germany ? Looking at the background it appears to be in a park ?

Jaguar XK120 body on a BMW chassis?
The place is Stadtparkrennen "Rund um das Scheibenholz", Leipzig, 1952.
The car is most probably the Mitteldeutsches Autohaus built BMW 328 based special

I agree, not only "most probably", but exactly. The car is pictured in here: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=12590.0 I don't know at which event it was photographed there, but it has starting number 108.

It surely is. I just found a bunch of pictures recently and this was one of them. I didn't find it in W. Melenk's book, so, I asked the author if he knows the car. Besite many interisting facts he replied it surely is featured in "Meister des Sports" :bag: and I had to face this puzzle is rather easy.. ;D
Oh, I had this one as Gerhard Erfurth´s BMW Spezial...
