Pic Of The Week: M turns 40
BMW has been at the 'ring this week, celebrating 40 years of M - as does this week's POTW
In the meantime POTW has got in on the act and dug out some retro M BMW on the 'ring desktop delight in the form of Chris Amon and Hans-Joachim Stuck's 3.0 CSL racing at the Nordschleife back in 1973. An era when both trousers and wheelarches were flared it's also when the very foundations of the hot BMWs we've been enjoying for four decades since were laid down.
OK, it's a big leap from this to some pink and blue stitching on your M Sport steering wheel. But it's nice to think there's a link, no matter how tenuous.
More on Dale's adventures very soon - in the meantime enjoy!

ETA, looks more like mini-karussell but I'm still confused...

With drivers like Stuck, Amon, Bell, Hezemans, Harald Ertl, 'Yogi' Muir, and ( to quote from Peter Scott-Russell commentating at Silverstone) an up and coming young Austrian called Niki Lauda who's showing a rare turn of speed..... you couldn't go wrong - unless there was a big Capri in the mirrors - the 1973 Tourist Trophey at Silverstone was a great example, lead swapping all the time...
When will we see their like again?
