About the BMW 320i Racing

BMW took on the 1976 World Championship for Makes with the 3.0CSL, and while Porsche took both the Division 3 title for cars over 3,000cc and the Division 2 title for those between 2,000cc and 3,000cc, BMW did not back down and returned in 1977 for a renewed challenge with the 320i Racing: based on the 1975 release 320i two-door sedan, it was souped up with a 298hp 2,000cc 16-valve inline-4 engine. The body’s aerodynamics are said to have undergone testing and refinement in the Pininfarina facility in Italy and were enhanced with a pronounced chin spoiler and a rear wing. The 320i Racing made its debut in the opening race of the 1977 season, the 24 Hours of Daytona, and its heated rivalry in the 2-liter class with the Porsche 935 would continue.
