I own a 1979 528i BMW with the 3.0/3.2 Engine. I saved this car from the crusher just last year. A friend of mine was moving out of his parents house and he wanted nothing to do with the car. Apparently he was gifted it by his uncle who promised he’d help him maintain it? Well… that unfortunately didn’t happen. So it sat in his backyard for years and wasn’t driven. I later learned about the history behind it and chose to buy it for $700. At first, I thought it was a bad idea as I had no idea what I was getting into. But I just took a leap of faith and went with it. Today as of 7/7/24 it is running and is almost ready to be back on the road. It took a lot of work finding parts at local junkyards but I luckily found the items I needed. The car isn’t 100% perfect, but for it sitting for almost 30 years it’s in better shape now than it was when I bought it.
What a gorgeous passion project!! Narrator made mention of the David Hobbs' McLaren 320. I spoke with David in the paddock (until he realized that I wasn't a journalist) in the '70's at Sears Pt (Sonoma Raceway) before he piloted this car on the track.
Amazing build and attention to detail! Great little movie about it. Even period correct German synth music. What race track is this? Never seen it before.
Ce dessin de voiture sur une e30 un 6 cylindre turbo me suffirait pour tout gagner et la vous la veriait cette legende a construire je suis tellement sur de moi que sa me fait meme pas peur tres francais non ❤😂
One of these use to sit in a garden down the road from me around 1997 when I was growing up use to just sit a look at it rotting away in the garden looked like the bat mobile was so cool god knows what happened to it 😢😢😢
The context is useful to know. The car was a shell already cut up beyond restoration to a road car. It was destined for the scrap yard. It was built into a faithful replica of a rare classic race car.

Bastardizing a beautiful, timeless car is disgusting and repulsive.

They made it better.
