BMW 320i Group 5

This is one of just 31 E21 320i Group 5 cars built by BMW Motorsport GmbH for the 1977 season's two-litre class. Chassis E21-R1-07 was built for the Hohmann Auto Technik team and raced in that year's Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft by Ronnie Peterson, Mario Ketterer and others. Peterson was fastest in the two-litre division at the Nürburgring Goodyear 300 that March and finished third in Division 2.

The car has a 2.0-litre four-cylinder, quoted at 400 bhp, in a lightweight body with fibreglass panels and perspex side and rear windows. It later passed through Helmut Bross, Gerry Tyack and Brian Chatfield, who ran it in the UK, and then Tom Walkinshaw. The current owner bought it in 2007.

A restoration to 1977 specification began in 2011 and was completed in 2017 by Melbourne Performance Centre in Australia. It has seen little use since, including the 2023 Le Mans Classic, and is offered race ready with an extensive spares package. The price is on application.
