This 1978 BMW 323i 2.8 Warsteiner Motorsport is not something we see every day. It’s a tribute to the iconic BMW E21 Group 5 race car that was sponsored by Warsteiner in the ’70s and ’80s. This BMW has been meticulously restored with a focus on performance and uncompromising race design. Thanks to a complete bare-metal restoration, the exterior is in excellent condition, with no expense spared to transform this car into a true racing machine for (among other things) the road. Attention to detail and custom race modifications The body of this BMW 323i has been entirely modified and optimized for a race look, featuring larger wheel arches all around. The car is finished in a unique gray paint that gives it a distinctive appearance. The bumpers, emblems, headlights, and turn signals all contribute to the minimalist, race-inspired design. In terms of suspension and grip, this BMW is equipped with custom BBS RS three-piece wheels (9.5J front and 11.5J rear) with 16-inch rims, combined with a full AP coilover suspension system, custom-made for optimal performance on both the track and the road. The chassis has been further reinforced with a full Wiechers roll cage, which not only guarantees safety but also adds extra rigidity for maximum control in corners. Race-ready interior and superior safety Inside, the interior has been completely transformed into a true racer, featuring Sparco racing bucket seats, an OMP steering wheel, and a stripped-down interior for maximum weight reduction. The roll cage provides extra protection, making it clear that this BMW is prepped to perform both on the track and public roads. These modifications offer not only a pure racing feel but also the comfort and safety needed to perform at high speeds. Powerful 2.8-liter six-cylinder and thorough upgrades Under the hood, we find a heavily modified M20 2.8-liter six-cylinder engine, equipped with a KMS throttle body system and performance exhaust headers. This engine delivers powerful acceleration and an impressive driving experience. The Inox stainless steel exhaust provides an amazing sound that further emphasizes the car’s racing roots. The engine has been carefully tuned with performance in mind without compromising reliability. Whether you want to enjoy twisty mountain roads or achieve maximum performance on the track, this BMW 323i delivers the driving experience you’d expect from a true Warsteiner Motorsport tribute. An ode to BMW’s motorsport history The original BMW E21 323i was a popular choice in motorsports thanks to its lightweight chassis and powerful six-cylinder engines. This specific model is inspired by the legendary BMW Group 5 race car, which became famous in leading touring car championships like the Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft (DRM), often sponsored by the German beer brand Warsteiner. These cars, with their characteristic aerodynamic modifications and massive spoilers, were familiar sights on circuits in the ’70s and ’80s. The Warsteiner colors and BMW Motorsport logos on this 323i bring this rich motorsport history back to life, giving the car an authentic racing appearance that will appeal to any motorsport enthusiast.
