Jim Richards in the JPS BMW635, great driver in a wonderful car.

[@nnoddy8161]

Gentleman Jim Richards - one of the most talented touring car drivers in the world. Unfortunately, Europe never really got to see him at his best. JPS BMW 635 and E30 M3 were immaculate.

[@zabaleta66]

Dominant at his best and so good for a long time!

[@grovermelody1264]

Just for the looks the car deserves to win

[@krayziebenno]

Motor Magazine Australia just published a great article on this very car. Ahhh, the golden era of motorsport.

[@baysidelad1]

Best looking Group A racecar..........EVER!!!!!!!

[@benderlegauchiste]

[@chessimate]

Nothing beats the glorious howl of a BMW straight six. Except the modern ones now sound like vacuum cleaners sadly

[@grovermelody1264]

BRAAAAHHHMM PAKJE JOHN PLAYER SPECIAL ! Instant legend

[@mosca3289]

Great to see. I grew up watching that beautiful car.

[@1240enzo]

The best looking and highly successful BMW that Gentleman Jim Richards used to great affect to dominate and win the 1985 Touring car championship in Australia. Between this and Colin Bond/Alan Jones Alfa Romeo GTV6s they were the most glorious race cars of the time.

[@markwilliams2257]

[@r129r16pfl]

[@darrentaylor7556]

@@r129r16pfl CAMS Group C rules in '84 . Our touring cars in the Group C era all had to have full interiors in them .

[@grovermelody1264]

[@bmw320is7]

Thats Racecar 💪Not the DTM today

[@1983dmd]

People only think BMW e30 M3 won races all over the place...Wake up everybody...e24 635 have an incredible racing pedigree....It's about time the value of these cars skyrocket like the e30 M3... !!!

[@mrc7966]

Anybody know why it retains its rear seat? Something to do with group regulations?

[@aussieseanc]

Australian Group C regulations of the early 80s required the rear seat and interior trim to be fitted

[@simonj6117]

Can’t hear what Jim is saying for the music 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@zoljak2856]

Bmw m3

[@jmos96]

Get rid of the overproduced music and the video would be great.

[@gt40mk21]

Are you kidding?! They gave us 3 solid minutes of in-car sound! Not like those friggin ones where you get 5% car sound, 50% talking and 45% music - those make me want to scream!
