Description
A LIMITED-RUN HOMOLOGATION SPECIAL OF BMW'S WORLD TOURING CAR CHAMPIONSHIP VEHICLE. A MERE 2600 MADE AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE AND ONLY 500 COMING TO THE UK. BASED ON THE 320I M SPORT, THE SUSPENSION, GEARBOX, BODYWORK AND INTERIOR ARE ALL CARRIED OVER UNCHANGED. THE AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN TWEAKED INCLUDE THE WHEELS (UNIQUE MOTORSPORT 18S), BRAKE DISCS (NOW 300MM ALL ROUND), AND MOST SIGNIFICANTLY THE ENGINE, WHICH IS HAND-BUILT SPECIFICALLY FOR THE 320SI WITH MORE POWER AND A VERY DIFFERENT CHARACTER FROM THE REGULAR VERSION. THE 320SI HAS BEEN ENGINEERED TO REV HIGHER; THE BORE IS UP BY 1MM TO 85MM AND THE STROKE DOWN BY 2MM, TO 88MM, WHILE THE INDUCTION AND EXHAUST VALVES ARE ALL BIGGER, TOO. THE COMPRESSION RATIO IS UP FROM 10.5:1 TO 11.0:1, CYLINDER LINERS ARE ALUMINIUM ALLOY RATHER THAN CAST IRON, AND THERE'S NO VALVETRONIC INDUCTION SYSTEM. THE CYLINDER HEAD IS CAST ALONGSIDE BMW'S F1 ENGINES. THE 320SI COMES WITH A CARBONFIBRE CAM COVER. THE FACT THAT THIS SAVES 10KG AND LOWERS THE CENTRE OF GRAVITY IS VALUABLE ON THE RACE CAR, AND LARGELY IRRELEVANT ON THE ROAD CAR. WHAT MATTERS HERE IS THAT IT LOOKS AS COOL AS HELL. THE UPSHOT OF THE CHANGES IS THAT THE 320SI'S ENGINE DEVELOPS 171BHP AT 7000RPM.
