Rescuing a Rare Forgotten BMW M Car - Will it Run?

Rescuing a Rare Forgotten BMW M Car - Will it Run? One of 786 ever made, Jonny Smith visits this classic BMW survivor garaged for 20 years in Oxford. He brings his expert friend Tony BMW (the inventor of the sacred Can of Hope fuel tank) to find out the back story, try to fire up this homologation special and give it the first clean in decades.
