They used probably different cars for the development phase scenes and the race scenes. At the end they mixed everything:

Developing the car:

Main pic is from the first test drive, before they installed the new magic axle.

technically it would be a LOLA however

looks like the T100 to me due to the narrower air intake

^T100, other Lola's or BMW F2 cars don't quite match shape-wise but 1970 March 702 F2 and 703 F3 sister racecars look almost identical to main pic imo.

702's: [Image: march702-charles-400x300.jpg] [Image: coys_702.jpg]
703's: [Image: march703-armer-silverstone2013-10-19-1000x.jpg] [Image: simon-armer-march-ford-703-derek-bell-cup-1-litre-formula-3-cars-1964-to-1970-77th-members-meeting-g.jpg]

^Actually Ralph wasn't sure in his post if it's a BMW F2 car.

oldracingcars.com says 2 out of 6 702's were sent to Germany, 1 to Eifelland racing team and 1 to BMW for evaluation but at least 5/16 703's went to Eifelland. Eifelland had their headquarters located very close to the Nurburgring circuit (naturally) where these scenes were shot.

So after all this I'd go for a 1970 March 703 F3. Film was first shown in July '70 so these shots could be maybe around spring of 1970 when these cars should be ready for the new season.

note:engine is unknown as they used a few different ones and the main pic car doesn't need to have the BMW shown or mentioned in other scenes
