Offered is a very nice vintage 1977 BMW 320 SCCA ITB race car with a lot of potential. The car was campaigned by two talented owner/drivers 1992-2007. It was issued the race car numbers, 56, 55 and 23. Very competitive in it's class, twice SCCA SARRC ITB champion and SEDiv Solo 1 champion with various Hill climb and event lap records. It was recently upgraded to compete in the vintage category of the Targa Newfoundland.

This rare sunroof delete version retains it's stock appearance of its street bound siblings. The sheet metal front hood is still present, pinned to the body. The windshield, side and rear glass is the original spec glass. Both front and rear "diving board" bumpers have been removed to decrease the chassis weight. All the side body molds and rear marker lights have been removed and holes shaved/ filled in. It has a post face-lift European spec front valance. The "is" model delete rear deck lid is in very good condition. The body is hail dent free with very little rust,  primered , and ready for new paint (or wrap).

Inside, the flat white business-like cabin includes a fully sanctioned 8 point SCCA ITB roll cage. The original dash comes equipped with a cluster of Auto-Meter race gauges (tachometer, water and oil temperature and oil pressure). The key ignition has been updated with a push button starter, and sanctioned cut-off switch. Two Recaro Profi race seats with Recaro steel (FIA) brackets/rails and are FIA eligible until 2019. A pair of CIPHER 5 point race harness. The DSX three-spoke quick release race wheel is in very good condition.

This car is equipped with a Power Plant 2.0L m10 race engine and rebuilt Top End Performance head with "sport" cam. New e10 intake with 38/38 Weber conversion (original fuel injection included). Totally custom Top End Performance header designed specifically for the e21 chassis. Baffled Oil Pan. Crane Fireball XR3000 ignition with PS91 coil. Oil cooler setup. Power is transferred to the rear wheels with a 5-speed OD transmission (original 4 speed included) mated to a (391?) limited slip differential. Fully adjustable Ground Control Coil Over suspension and Camber Plates. Front strut bar, 21mm Front Sway Bar, 3 Position Rear Sway Bar w/ urethane links. Urethane Bushings in rear trailing arms. ATL Race Fuel cell, Accusump and newer fuel pump. Pictured with optional 13x6 BBS Basket-weave alloys with 205/60-13 Toyo Proxes tires.

Great power to weight ratio, very easy to drive and maintain! An excellent platform for Vintage and/or Club racing, AutoX/Solo, HPDE or...or easily converted into a street legal weekend toy. Included with the sale are the SCCA Logbook(s), 4 containers of miscellaneous spares, period phots along with a clean title. Miscellaneous vintage pics and results VIN 5423712.

Have always been a quirky fan of the 320's.... GLWS!

Thank you, it’s a fun car to drive... the car is actually going to paint in a couple of weeks. I’m still torn between going with dark grey or orange...

[glashaus]

We went with Orange...

excellent color choice!  car looks good.  some great bits on the car and nicely done.

 

while it may have run in SCCA ITB class in the past, that engine as it is described would make it illegal to run in SCCA ITB...

Thank you. True, the engine has been changed, but the original injection used when it ran in ITB is included with the sale
