This car has changed hands a few times now. I’m still amazed at the prices these cars command.

That's because:
a/ they're uber cool
b/ there's bugger all of them
c/ they're the preeminent Group A car
d/ they have a wide appeal

Rather oddly I ended up with an Alpina Group A ECU for a car like this; I'd bought it of t'internet as it had a stock BMW case for my 1982 car but on opening it up and checking the interior it had an Alpina part number on it; I checked the part number with Buchloe as I didn't recognise it and they confirmed it as a Group A Alpina ECU for an E24.

I bet that's worth a few quid to the right person

I saw this "Group 2" car on Pistonheads. Its not the genuine item IMO, but its half the price of the Group "A" car!

Which is why I built a clone!

if you go to racecarsdirect.com and search for BMW there is always a 635 Group A, or two, for sale. They do command top dollar.

Some like Jim Richards Group A JPS car have been converted back to Group C to be more competitive. They run an extra 100hp in Group C. Over here (Australia) historic racing sees Group A and Group C compete. The 635 is usually in the top 3 to 5 so very competitive but runs the M88 at around 420hp. And needs to against 5 litre V8's, 500hp sierras and the Nissan GTR 4wd.
