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

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast BMW M3 E30 recreates Eric van de Poele's Zakspeed-run #2 car, champion of the 1987 DTM season. Zinc-alloy build with factory-affiliated livery, an anchor piece for BMW M3 and German touring car history.

The E30 M3 was built to homologate a road car for Group A racing, and its DTM record turned that homologation exercise into one of the most successful touring car programs of its era.

Van de Poele's 1987 DTM Championship

Zakspeed ran a well-funded M3 program through the late 1980s DTM grid, and Eric van de Poele's championship-winning season demonstrated how thoroughly BMW's homologation special had matured beyond its road-car origins. DTM at this point was becoming Europe's premier touring car championship, drawing manufacturer-level investment and increasingly sophisticated Group A preparation. The M3's four-cylinder engine, derived from the M1's unit, gave it a rev-happy character that suited DTM's technical circuits. This specific livery, with Zakspeed's team branding and championship-year sponsor decals, marks a defining season for the model rather than a generic BMW motorsport scheme.

Diecast Detail on a Homologation Icon

The zinc-alloy body carries genuine weight, a density that separates it clearly from lighter toy-grade construction at a similar footprint. Doors typically open on functional hinges, exposing a simplified but recognizable roll-caged cockpit. The championship livery is applied via tampo printing rather than decals, holding crisp lines over years of shelf display. Panel gaps run a touch wider than sealed resin construction, an honest characteristic of hinged diecast rather than a specific shortcoming. The E30's boxy, flared-arch silhouette is one of the most recognizable touring car shapes ever built, and it translates faithfully to 1:18.

Anchoring an M3 or DTM Collection

This championship-winning E30 is a natural centerpiece for any BMW M3 lineage display or DTM season chronology, pairing well with contemporary rivals from Mercedes and Audi that fought the same championship battles.
