Raceland Gold Edition made by Spark. Exclusive model.
After the end of the extremely successful BMW M3 E30, a pure Class 1 DTM car based on the new BMW M3 generation E36 was developed in Munich after 1992. However, the long straight six-cylinder engine caused numerous problems with the weight distribution and so BMW tried to get the regulations changed in advance so that the engine could be placed further back in the chassis. When this was rejected by the rule-makers, the Munich company surprisingly withdrew from the DTM and the development of the new E36 racing car seemed to be history.
Was the huge effort really completely in vain? Team boss Udo Wagenhäuser had other plans for 1994: his good contacts to BMW allowed him to draw on a lot of the factory's technical data, and it is rumoured that essential technical modules of this ambitious private project were supplied by BMW. With DHL a big sponsorship had been acquired, but the brand-new car did not get off the ground as quickly as expected. After only four races, Georg Severich took over the cockpit from Rüdiger Schmitt and brought additional sponsorship for the Norisring and the rest of the season.
