NuNu 1/24 BMW M3 E30 ('88 SPA 24 Hours Winner) Scaled Plastic Model Kit
The championship car, BMW M3, was a Group A touring car based on the E30 3 series. The BMW M3 was developed mainly by the BMW Motorsport GmbH, the BMW’s motorsport division. The body was equipped with blister fenders on the front and back to accommodate wider tread and larger tires. Moreover, the rear side window was designed inclined to improve aerodynamics, and the trunk was made accordingly to a high deck. Other changes included a rear wing and a front spoiler to enhance aerodynamics. With displacement 2.3 liters, the engine was based on the six-cylinder engine of BMW’s super sports car M1, and was reduced by two cylinders to make it four-cylinder in-line fitted at the front. The BMW M3 was homologated for Group A racing and with high tuning to produce 300 hp for maximum output. After that, the Evolution model was also developed, and the performance was upgraded such as enlarging the displacement to 2.5 liters. In order to qualify the production of 5000 units per year required for Group A homologation regulations, the engine was manufactured by BMW Motorsport, and the BMW headquarters was in charge of the production of the vehicle.
In 1987, the BMW M3 acquired homologation and took part in the race. The BMW M3 immediately showed its ability and won many victories in touring car races around the world until the 1990s.
