Someone can help to me to find the technical details of this particular car please? With sincere friendship: Giovanni.

Edited by Giovanni, 14 July - Tim Harvey Ray Bellm. As I remember there were three cars built and run by VLM- those raced by Harvy and Bellm, plus a third used by Steve Soper for the majority of the season, though he missed some rocunds when his DTM commitments took precedence.

Prodrive also had a third car, which appeared once at Knockhill for Colin McRae. From memory, there were quite a few technical differences between the VLM and Prodrive interpretations of the same car- possibly different gearboxes and engine builders. I might have some technical details in a book- I'll dig them out Edited by Kevan, 16 July - Originally the engine was 2.

There is an italian BMW modell is, which used 2.

The standard e36 shaped is had 1. That ment the power band for 2. Much rumours are flying around where VLM got money for Hollinger gearbox With E36 it was multilink suspension, called Z-suspension, which gave more predictable handling in street format than the sinister semi-trailing arm configuration. However race-teams had much problems to sort out the Z-axle for race use. The standard suspension parts flexed too much under race use and gave a car unpredicatble handling. I guess there were several modifications for rear-axle parts during the season. That was pretty much the last hurrah for the car in terms of contemporary competition, until it re-emerged in when it was sold to a Swedish team — Team Mobimech — and run, with a 3.

Once the car was here, Rick was able both to verify its provenance and consider what to do with it.

The rear guards were cut well open to fit the massive wheels, there was no engine and about two-thirds of a gearbox. So, as it turned out, was Warren Good. But there was something about the ex-Harvey car that piqued his interest, particularly now that it was literally just down the road from his Dunedin home. He had to find a lot of the bits and fabricate even more.

But we got it to a point where Warren could take over and complete a lot of the finer detail.

Never one to turn down a challenge where a Group A or BMW super tourer is concerned, Rick went ahead and bought the car and then had it shipped to his Evolution Motorsport workshop in Invercargill. Since purchasing it, Warren has certainly put it to good use. Unfortunately, Tim Harvey was too busy with his role as a commentator with the contemporary BTCC series to attend either meeting, but Warren did get to show Steve Soper round the car.

Harvey, on the other hand, has told Warren that it is definitely his and both hope one day to have its original driver back behind the wheel and turn some laps in it.

As much as he is looking forward to driving a modern, hi-tech car, come January he will be hankering to get back behind the wheel of his beloved BTCC-winning spec BMW is. What you see is what you get. Submit Rating.
