Story behind the car:
I saw ad about dirt cheap 320is rolling shell and could not resist having yet another race car project. Idea was just to have a cheap track car. But like usual, one modification leads to yet another modification... and series of modifications. But this incarnation is perhaps the last. Biggest problem is that I love engine tuning, which I have done about 30 years. And M20 is nice simple underrated engine.
