About the BMW M3 E30 #2 Warsteiner E. van de Poele DTM Champion 1987 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast BMW M3 E30 reproduces Eric van de Poele's Warsteiner #2 car, champion of the 1987 DTM season. Diecast construction captures the E30's boxy touring flares and sponsor livery, a landmark piece for German touring car history collectors.

The E30 M3 remains one of the most celebrated touring cars ever built, and its 1987 DTM title run cemented that reputation early in its career.

Minichamps' Diecast Take on the DTM E30

This model reproduces the M3's widened arches and boxy silhouette with tight, consistent panel gaps, and the Warsteiner livery's beer-brand sponsorship graphics apply with crisp edges across the white body. Handling it, the zinc alloy build feels substantial, matching the weight collectors expect from a mid-to-premium DTM-era diecast. The rear spoiler and front splitter, key visual markers of the E30's touring-spec aggression, hold their shape firmly rather than showing the flex or warping sometimes seen in lower-tier plastic reproductions.

A Homologation Legend Wins Its First Title

BMW built the E30 M3 specifically to satisfy Group A homologation requirements, and Eric van de Poele's 1987 championship proved that strategy paid off immediately. The 5,000-unit road car production run that legalized the racer created one of the most enduring dual identities in motorsport: a genuinely drivable street car and a dominant touring car champion built on the same basic platform.

A Cornerstone for a DTM Collection

At 1:18, roughly 22cm, this M3 anchors any German touring car or DTM-themed shelf convincingly. Paired with the road-going E30 M3 variant, it tells the complete homologation story collectors specifically look for. For anyone building a chronological DTM champion collection, this 1987 title car is close to essential, marking the beginning of the M3's long competitive legacy.
