This video has been recorded during a run on the Bergrennen Mickhausen Event in Bayern, Germany. It features the driver Patrick Orth and an amazing BMW E30 320is, as you'll come to notice.
What is most impressing though is not the car itself, which is somewhat of a beast. It's the skill of the driver and the way he manages to control it without any kind of electronic stability program.
That's hard to do on dry asphalt but it's even harder to achieve while driving on a wet track. Most of us would faint or at least panic when approaching the walls at such speeds but Patrick proves he's an amazing driver and takes the car to the limit, showing the world once again, that any BMW has the rally DNA imprinted deep within itself.
The 320is was available only for Italy and Portugal between 1988 and 1990. It had a S14 engine (yes, it was developed by the M division) that boasted 192 HP and 210 Nm of torque. A variation of this engine was used on the E30 M3 later on.
