EYE CANDY // JUST ADD GRAVEL

I've come to the conclusion that four cylinder BMWs make great gravel rally cars. I know I'm not the first person to come to this conclusion, I mean hell, people have been rally racing BMWs almost as long as they have been produced. So this is nothing new. But that doesn't negate the fact that the image featured above (which comes to us courtesy of En Voiture SIMONE) is, as far as I am concerned, a perfect example of what you should be doing with your vintage Bimmer. Mr.Larson, I'm looking at you ;) // [comment]

  1. I agree but I am too busy racing my "vintage" 1991 325i in the local Pro 3 class in the Northwest, as are about 35 others.

  2. what You pobably do not know guys is that this (90% sure) BMW was driven by Sobieslaw Zasada of Poland who had been involved with most of the big names in rallying in the '60s and '70s.
