BMW 320I Turbo

I was wondering if anyone had a picture of the wiring (sparplugs) for the 320i that David Hobbs drove in the IMSA series. Have not been able to locate anything. Thanks for your help.

It will likely be difficult to come up with pics of that specific car. But until BMW introduced solid state ignition (early 90's models), BMW's ignition wiring tended to all look very much the same.

(Not out of the right car, obviously)

The plug wires go from the distributor at the end of one of the camshafts into a tube running along the top (or side) of the valve cover. One wire exits the tube for each cylinder's plug.

Thanks much. That is how I thought it went. Been holding off on the engine. I should have asked earlier. You guys are great.

This engine that put into the BMW E21 320i is call the M12.
It had both NA. & Turbo version.

Hope this help.:iceslolan

Once again thanks so much. This is the info I was looking for . You guys are the best.

Accidental Refererence! I'm trying to make a generic F2..or something vintage racer using the BT50 BMW engine minus the turbo. So I've been looking with google for pics of the motor. Only a few fair shots.
I see this thread and it's nothing but engine shots
Thank You all!!
