I know nothing about this car, but the license-plate is from Austria and it was on racing event in the austrian alps ......

While I am a fan of the racing bodykits , I really do not like this style, who came up with this design?
That is a very nice Alpine next to it though.

Schnitzer

Schnitzer: The Pamela Lee Anderson of the BMW world. Lots of body work but no class or subtlety.

I've come to think of that one as a really rich, gooey, tempting-looking slice of cheesecake....with a big ole smelly cigar stubbed out in the middle

Schnitzer body kit

This body kit is not just wheel arch extentions but an aerodynamic system: The fenders are extended in a wedged form with a minimal upper camber to press the car down at high speed and offering a reduced frontal area compared to conventional flared fenders. This was done in early 1972! Genius! Schnitzer was always a step ahead in terms of aerodamics and engine development when it comes to BMW racing. The beauty of this kit may not lie in its provocative baroque style but in its functionality and historical significance.

Did Schnitzer actually campaign this package? If it was truly functional why don't we remember this aero package instead of the BATs?

and

Since you are talking "historical significance", is the BMW Motorsport "livery" at all appropriate on this car?

 

[Tierfreund]

Schnitzer has been works team, semi works team and privateer on and off. They have pretty close relations with BMW and BMW motorsport. I don´t think anyone at BMW will take offence about the schnitzer kit combined with motorsport livery.
Afaik, the Schnitzer Kit was campaigned as well as others. There were quite a number of racing E9s to go around and the Bat was not the only one and not the first (I believe Alpina started racing the E9 with the 2800...)

Schnitzer body kit

By the time those kits where available, Schnitzer was starting the production of the16 valves 4 cyl, and was developing the 24 valves 6cyl. With potential power well over 400 hp, it was clear that this kit could not supply adequate housing for the required gearbox and rear end cooling radiators. About 20 kits were produced which included a special front and rear spoiler. Strangely enough the kits were street legal.

The car shown in the first is a mixed bag of various elements that do not necessarily belong together. The paint scheme is one of them.

The kit mentionned above was never used in competition, but in 1976 something with some similarities appeared on a Belgian Schnitzer-powered car.

Gerrit, I am glad someone is defending the Schnitzer flag.
Sadly Schnitzer's essential contribution to the Coupé's competition history is poorly documented.

Don't forget the Peugoet 205 T16 another lunatic WRC group B car!

There are still a couple of Metro 6R4's running in the Scottish Rally Championship along with an Audi Quattro that a friend built locally to me (I helped sort the fuel injection on it)

Pictures from this years Scottish Rally......

Flip back and forwards through the pictures...Find the corner we came to grief in, though not as bad as some! Plus the BMW that does well!
