Description

A unique opportunity to acquire one of the fastest and most fascinating BMW M3 (E30) DTM race cars ever built.

The BMW M3 E30 DTM is far more than just a racing car – it is a legend of touring car racing, a symbol of the golden DTM era and, for many enthusiasts, the most emotional BMW Motorsport car ever created.

During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the M3 DTM wrote motorsport history. While other manufacturers focused purely on power, the E30 M3 impressed with lightweight construction, perfect balance, brutally direct handling and its legendary high-revving S14 engine. This unique combination made it one of the most successful touring cars of all time – and still today one of the most desirable race cars in BMW Motorsport history.

The car was the fastest BMW M3 E30 on track in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 and regularly dominated the DTM Open class.

This exceptional vehicle is also connected to Kris Nissen – one of the most respected names in international motorsport. The Danish racing driver was closely associated with BMW Motorsport during its most successful years and was considered one of the fastest and most precise touring car drivers of his generation.

His appearances in DTM, the European Touring Car Championship and international endurance racing made him an important figure of the legendary motorsport era of the 1980s and 1990s.

Kris Nissen also competed internationally, including endurance races and the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans. After his racing career, he became Motorsport Director at Volkswagen Motorsport and played a major role in several international motorsport projects.

Nissen was known for his uncompromising driving style, technical precision and his ability to perfectly set up race cars and drive consistently at the limit. These qualities made him an ideal driver for the BMW M3 E30 DTM – a car demanding precision, balance and exceptional driving skill.

With only approx. 975 kg, a high-revving 2.5-litre engine producing around 365 hp, modern KW racing suspension, 6-speed TRACTIVE gearbox and professional data acquisition, this car delivers an uncompromising driving experience at the highest level.

The sound of the screaming four-cylinder engine, the direct steering, the lightweight construction and incredible agility make every lap an emotional experience – exactly how touring car racing was meant to be: raw, direct and honest.

A vehicle like this rarely comes onto the market. For collectors, ambitious racing drivers and true motorsport enthusiasts, this is the rare opportunity not simply to buy a race car – but to own a genuine piece of DTM history with winning potential.

A BMW M3 E30 DTM is not simply a car.
It is pure motorsport emotion.
