1995 BMW 328:

Stating life as a daily driver and originally a manual 318iS, it was used in road trim for various events before being stripped out to add an Octane Automotive roll cage and other standard safety gear fitted. It has slowly progressed with gravel setup in mind. Custom front shocks have been fitted, the diff welded, a twin plate clutch fitted and the 1.8 engine has been replaced with a 2.8 six cylinder. The paint job is based on an M3 in Finland with hopefully the driving style emulated. The Engine Room Automotive is the main sponsor specialising in European vehicle servicing.
