About the BMW 2002 E10 #112 GT Tuning K. Basche Winner International ADAC Airfield Race DTM 1972 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast reproduces the #112 GT Tuning BMW 2002 E10, driven to victory by K. Basche at the 1972 International ADAC Airfield Race. Diecast construction with the period racing livery suits a German touring car display built on the 2002's competition record.
The BMW 2002 wasn't only a road car success story, it raced hard in German touring car events, and this GT Tuning entry captures exactly that side of its history.
Minichamps' Diecast Rendering of the GT Tuning 2002
The compact E10 body, boxier and more upright than BMW's later 3 Series designs, is reproduced in weighted zinc-alloy diecast with the GT Tuning racing livery applied in sharp tampo print. Doors open onto a cabin fitted with a roll cage and racing seat, and the #112 number and sponsor graphics are reproduced with the period accuracy Minichamps applies across its historic motorsport catalog. Wider racing tires distinguish the stance from a standard street 2002.
K. Basche and the 2002's German Touring Car Record
Airfield circuits were common venues for German touring car racing in the early 1970s, offering long straights and tight infield sections that suited compact, agile cars like the 2002. K. Basche's win in this GT Tuning-prepared entry reflects the kind of grassroots-to-serious competition the 2002 supported throughout the period, building on the road car's reputation for handling that made it a natural choice for privateer racing programs.
A German Touring Car Winner on Display
This #112 2002 works well alongside other period German touring car liveries, documenting a confirmed race result rather than a generic livery and adding genuine competition history to a BMW-focused shelf.
