07.07.2015BMW M3 - exclusive model of the E30 series in 1:18

Wolf in sheep's clothing? Hold on! It is not so reluctant, the BMW M3 Series E30, which was built in the years 1986-1991. Fat Cheeks in  form of accentuated, nice  fender flares and a gigantic  spoiler give you a first glance at the purpose of the development: The BMW M3 of the first generation was created for homologation for participation in the German Touring Car Championship DTM  and first introduced in 1986. The basis of the M3 - the two-door sedan - has undergone major changes in this sense. The improvements were the driving dynamics, the torsional stiffness,and  aerodynamics, the  improvement of drag coefficiency. The viewer will notice by looking at the front spoiler of the M3

Changes in the BMW M3 compared to the two-door model

The developers did not have to pay attention to a certain budget, so it's said: to realize a victorious career that has been the M3 task. So it happened that the car received a redesigned rear, in which the rear window was made flatter and the rear lid made of plastic for the M3 was carried out 40 millimeters higher,which improved the  aerodynamics , and therefor and downforce and the grip. The side view is dominated by the wider fenders and the sills. Through the balance of his performance this M3 is considered the best looking edition of the BMW by many fans. Including the convertible -there has never been a four-door model of this generation - the first-generation BMW M3 sold 18,238 copies of all versions .
