Group A BMW 635 CSi - a popular, solid performer

For most touring car fans this particular model is arguably the most synonymous car associated with Group A touring car racing.

Our historians will be able to tell us how many races/titles the car won around the world ( a lot!) but its style, grace, performance and sound certainly made it one of the most popular cars of its 'genre' in the mid 80's.

This is an open thread and posts are encouraged on particular cars, teams, drivers and incidents.

If i was to think of this model several things spring instantly to mind:

1/ James Weaver, Trimoco BTCC, tailhappy, Silverstone 'trench'

2/ The Schnitzer 'skeleton' BMW Original Teile livery

3/ Eggenberger's excellent efforts running BMW Italia's entries for the likes of Gianfranco Brancatelli.

4/ The Frank Gardner run superb sinister looking JPS Australian entries.

5/ About 15 of them entered for Spa 24 hours races!

6/ A quite remarkable work over of the car by Charlie Lamn's boys to make it competitive again for it's ETC swansong in 1986.

Over to you....
