1980 BMW 320/3.5 turbo ETCC/Gruppe 2 race car. Former Wollstadt Autohaus Hartge Motorsports car, driven by Johannes Wollstadt, Harald Grohs and Armin Hahne This rare Euro spec BMW was originally built in Germany to compete in the ETCC/Gruppe 2 racing catagory, then later in Spezial Tourenwagen Trophy and hillclimbs.

 

This 320 barely retains it stock appearance of its street bound sibling, this Alpine white with Bavarian flag blue car has been resprayed at least once. One of the original paint schemes displayed a traditional BMW motorsport racing design, white with the motorsport diagonal three colored stripe The sheet metal hood has been replaced with fiberglass hood pinned to the bodied, all the glass, windshield, side and rear widows remain original The car's OEM front fenders and rear quarters have been replaced with a Schnitzer box-style set of fender flares allowing you the ability to run a wider wheel and tire combination. The remaining trim is still brilliant with little or no oxidation. The wheels are in very good condition considering they are for the race track environment.        

Inside, the period correct fully sanctioned ETCC custom aluminum roll cage, original equipment dash with original gauges and additional race gauges. The interior is bare metal and sparse but a single SRS race seat with custom Scheel seat rails and Simpson 5 point race harness. The Momo three spoke race wheel is period correct and in very good condition.

Brought to the U.S. in the middle ninties by IMSA GTO driver Alf Gephardt. He briefly campaigned the car in the COMMA GT series with a modified M10 4 cylinder. He removed the M10 and upgraded the power plant installing a Euro spec m3034b inline 6 cylinder engine with a Cartech turbo system and mated with a four speed close throw transmission. 410 locked rear end. Fully adjustable suspension and coilovers. 4 wheel disc brake (323i)16x10 inch BBS in front, 16x12 Dura lite in the rear. Extra fiberglass Gruppe 2 fender extensions are included if you wanted to take the car back to it’s original specifications. The car has been in storage for quite awhile and will need to be gone through and "freshened"

 

BMW has a long successful history both in Europe and the United States. This is an opportunity for you to acquire a part of that history, to race and or add to your collection! I feel very confident that you will probably not find another e21 320 series like this one in the United States...with over 300 hp, you’ll have a car that will hold it's own with the best of them either in club racing or for Performance Driving Schools or hillclimbs.

awesome car!  spares package?  that must be an absolute blast to drive on track!

 

i am guessing that to race it in US some significant safety upgrades would be needed (depending on what sanctioning body of course).  eg., alum roll cage replaced, new seat that does not recline, proper harness installation, fuel cell instead of that tank.  it is what it is for an old race car.

 

LOL..if this was on BAT, the first two questions would be

-can I register and drive it on the street?

-will it pass california emissions?

?

Thank you, just a few spares and yes, it is fun to drive, but definitely not for a novice.

 

It did run the COMMA GT series at Hallett driven by Alf Gebhardt...but that was some time ago. So you’re correct, all the safety equipment  would be need to be upgraded. If I was going to run in it anything more than HPDE’s or Auto-X (like vintage), I’d probably change the power plant back to a M10 or M20 since this car ran both in Europe.

 

Yeah, you'd be surprised how often I’m asked about making these cars street legal...and even been asked if it has an automatic transmission and Bluetooth...
