TC Kline fitted fully adjustable Koni suspension. camber plates. and significant structural reinforcements. The engine was then sent out to Torrance. CA to Russ Collins Engineering for balancing and blueprinting. uprated camshafts and head work. and balanced and blueprinted injectors. This car's past is full of countless unique and historical details. one of which being the tailored headers and exhaust. fabricated by Alf Gerhardt. IMSA GTO Daytona 24-hour winning driver alongside Hans Stuck and Walter Brun in the Schnitzer BMW M1. It is distinctions like this which make this car truly special in the BMW community.

Racing History:
The car was originally campaigned in the IMSA series of the late 80's. also known by its various title sponsors such as Toyo Tire Challenge. Luk Clutch Challenge. and Automobile Magazine Challenge. Driving duty was split between TC Kline. longtime BMW racecar constructor. Randy Pobst. who was recently inducted into the Sports Car Hall of Fame alongside Roger Penske and Bob Henderson. and Ron Pawley. 1985 Daytona 24-hour class winning driver. Due to unfavorable regulations at this time. the car did not achieve much success. However. lucky for us. it successfully finished its IMSA career in one piece. albeit with a few battle scars. One on the right rear which has a particularly interesting story involving a rub from NFL great Walter Payton and his brief stint in racing. Although this car did not have a hugely successful IMSA racing history it has been built and driven by some of the icons of vintage and contemporary BMW and sports car racing.
After its days in IMSA the car was purchased by Ron Pawley and displayed on a lift in his climate controlled facility. It remained in hibernation until 1994. when it was refreshed to compete in the COMMA series where it went on to absolutely dominate. winning 24 of 27 races entered throughout the 94-96 seasons. The car was then housed in Mr. Pawleys race shop until 2010 when it was sent out for another complete refresh in preparation for the Sebring 12-hour SVRA event. which would be the car's last run in competition. It has since been thoroughly gone over and refreshed yet again. The car did receive invitations to the Amelia Island SVRA Race and the SVRA Indianapolis Race in 2016 but due to scheduling conflicts was not able to participate. The car was displayed alongside its M3 counterpart in Monterey at Legends of the Autobahn 2016.
