Brahbam/BMW BT52 Turbo F1 car back alive!

Pretty cool to see the old BMW Motorsport mechanics rebuild the 900HP M12 4 cylinder engine that was based on the iron block of the 320i M10 enginer.

Also nice to see Paul Rosche and Nelson Piquet reunited with the first turbo car to win the WDC, a great Gordon Murray design.
The BT52 looks as cool today as it did 3 decades ago. Only wished Murray would have been at Goodwood as well.

Nothing like working on a clean motor in a clean shop with a little CCR music in the back
ground. Thanks for sharing.
