Motorsports
The racing version of 120d is called BMW 120d Motorsport. The inline-four engine was rated 245 PS (180 kW; 242 hp)@4200rpm and 450 N·m (330 lb·ft)@3000rpm with 5000rpm redline. It weighs only 1,135 kg (2,500 lb) with a driver. It includes a 100 litres (26 US gal; 22 imp gal) diesel tank.
In 2006, a BMW 120d modified with a BMW customer racing kit available for €95,000, entered by "Schubert Motors" repeated a similar if not better result. It scored 5th in a field of 220 cars, many of them (Porsche 911 GT3, BMW M3, Lamborghini Gallardo, Aston Martin, Maserati) were much more powerful than the 120d Motorsport, thus a significantly stronger field of competitors than in 1998.
