Description[]
The BMW E36 M3 Race is intended to represent (somewhat loosely) the BMW M3 race cars that raced in the IMSA GT Series in the 1990s. The initial livery of the casting is loosely based on the BMW Team Schnitzer cars which raced in the 1990s. This casting sits relatively higher than its real world counter part, and is noticeably missing half of its lower front bumper to accommodate for track usage.
'94 BMW M3 GTR is written on castings which use a plastic base; any Premium versions will use the original release name.
