This 1977 BMW 320 Group 5 from RM Sotheby’s is visually striking and race-ready. Vehicles like this don’t come around often, and as expected, it comes with a price tag that matches its uniqueness. Priced on application, this significant competition BMW sports one of motorsport’s most iconic liveries, making it a prized addition to any classic racing vehicle collection.
This 1977 BMW 320 Group 5 is powered by a M12/7 four-cylinder engine producing 330 horsepower, showcasing its impressive race performance. It comes with a history of competitive racing in Group 5 and DRM, complete with restoration photographs, circuit sheets, period photos, and motorsport magazines.
After its competition days ended in late 1977, chassis R1-06 was displayed in a BMW dealership window and changed owners multiple times. In 2002, the car surfaced at a judicial auction in Annemasse, France, in a disassembled state, prompting a meticulous restoration involving disassembly and sandblasting of all components.
The sale includes a history file with 10 binders of circuit sheets, period photos, magazines, and spare parts like differentials and wheels. Adorned in its vibrant Jägermeister livery, this 320 Group 5 is a true icon from a memorable era in motorsport.
