1988 | BMW M3 Europameister

BMW’s now-iconic M3 debuted for model year 1986 as a homologation requirement for the company’s Group A Touring Car race program. Based on the renowned E30-generation 3 Series, the vehicle rose to become the winningest touring car platform in road-racing history. 195hp, model-specific interior niceties, and limited production made the model a desirable enthusiast offering from the start. Special editions commemorating the car’s competition success elevated further collectability with unique color palettes and equipment.
