Did BMW ever campagne the e3 in any sort of competition? What class was it and what did the cars look like? I'm considering what I'm going to do with my $900 project car and I'm thinking about going more hot rod-ish than stock. Something like this 1971 MB 300SEL that won at Spa

This MB is a little over the top for what I'm trying to do, I'm trying for something less radical but certainly along the same theme. No roll cage but wide tires and lowered stance and possibly flared fenders if needed. And not like the couple of cars we've seen recently on Stanceworks :roll:. It will have a modified turbo M102 (yes, I know, the M106 is supposed to be better) of sorts in it with a number of modifications. I'm targeting somewhere north of 300HP so I'd like a chassis and appearance to go with it.
I'm looking for pictures (and possibly specs) for inspiration. I've also been watching the "lose you belt" thread too.
Edit: Just found this one, sort of a "go by" but I still would like more ideas
