Ok…so we all have seen (and drooled over) pictures of the E36 M3 Group A cars…and we’ve all seen replicas of them, both great looking and not so great looking. But now you can actually buy the real thing; it doesn’t stop there. On the official release it shows they’re also making the following available:
2008 Z4
E46 M3
E90 320i S2000
If this isn’t an indicator of where BMW is taking things I don’t know what is. Reading between the lines, it’s pretty obvious that BMW is pushing for a new market (on open terms) with its customers. Considering their relatively new Performance line of products…and now this…I’m excited to see what else BMW has in store for us. Perhaps this move will throw some weight in favor of more different racing applications.
Below are the downloadable PDF files that detail exactly what is available (basically everything).
