Started as hypothetical conversation about how to get the edge in the close running PBMW championship, weight distribution was discussed and a cabriolet considered. Overall the weight of a stripped back e30 cabriolet is marginally more than a saloon tin top. The difference being that the cabriolet's weight is in its sills, low down where the weight is best for the circuit. A facelift car was sourced and the first BMW racing cabriolet was built!
BMW 318 cabriolet, facelift model, stripped, weld in custom cage triangulated front and rear, GAZ Gold coilovers, adjustable top mounts, new powerflex 'Black' motorsport bushes, Milltek exhaust, New M20 2.0litre engine built to highest specs possible, plumbed in fire extinguisher, lightweight race seat, carbon door panels, custom decals, the first BMW E30 cabriolet racer, see it at the circuit near you!
