Info on E30 318is in BTCC?-- Nick Baird, Techspeed
Looking for info on the BMW E30 318is cars that were run in BTCC in '90 and '91. Specifically looking to know if these ran M42 engines or 2liter S14s. Techspeed ran atleaat one car with Nick Baird as driver. I've been struggling to find info on these cars and engine specs, and any insight is greatly appreciated!

Touringcarracing.net has the car listed as having 1796cc engine, so the M42.

According to the 1990 BTCC entry list for the Birmingham Superprix race. The BMW 318i was tuned by BMW/Goodman and the power was 2000 c.c.

I purchased this car along with 11 others from Brian Chatfield. IIRC it was then fitted with an S14 M3 engine. Among the many parts was a slide throttle from a BMW M10
engine, unlikely it would have such a basic engine fitted in 1990 but possible I suppose. More likely the basis was the 318is engine... |
