Hi,
A question a little off the beaten track. As someone torn between BMW
and mid-engined (our house currently sports an E30/M24 and a '78 X1/9)
I'm curious to know what sports and race cars used BMW engines (the Z3
does _not_ count)
The only cars I know of are the following.
Elva sports cars ('60s)
March F2 race cars (70's)
March Sports [CanAm?] cars ('80s)
the BMW M1
the F1 cars
the current LeMans cars
All are sufficiently expensive to make this total trivia (the March F2
cars are the "bargains" at $20K. And getting them roadregistered would
be a real trick)
The question then is - what other mid-engined BMW powered cars are
there?
Yours
Conrad Drake
Ps. For Oz based BMWers - there is an M6 for sale in Perth at the mo'.
Claimed to be immaculate & asking $80Kish AU ($50K US)
