About the BMW M3 E30 #7 Fina J. Cecotto DTM 1992 AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast BMW M3 E30 #7 Fina, driven by J. Cecotto in the 1992 DTM season, comes with opening doors and bonnet. This is a used model; its box shows traces of storage, casting unaffected. A well-documented touring car subject for a DTM display.

The E30 M3 spent its racing career fighting for DTM honours, and AUTOart's Fina-liveried diecast captures one specific campaign from that era in detail.

AUTOart's Diecast Rendering of the Fina M3

This casting is zinc alloy, holding real weight against the E30's boxy, homologation-widened racing bodywork. Doors and bonnet open, revealing the stripped racing cabin and four-cylinder engine bay, and while an articulated build carries slightly wider panel gaps than a sealed body would, that access suits a racing subject where cabin and engine detail matter to a collector. The Fina livery is applied with sharp, accurate registration, and the #7 race number sits correctly on the doors alongside the wide arch extensions that mark this out as a Group A racer rather than a road car. As a used model, expect handling wear consistent with age, and the box carries traces of storage worth noting, affecting the packaging rather than the casting.

Cecotto and the E30 M3 in DTM

Johnny Cecotto campaigned the E30 M3 during a period when DTM represented some of the most competitive touring car racing in the world, with multiple manufacturers fielding serious factory and semi-factory efforts. By 1992 the E30 M3 was reaching the later stages of its competitive life, facing newer rivals, but it remained a capable and well-regarded platform. This particular Fina-liveried entry ties the model to a specific driver and season rather than a generic racing livery.

Displaying This M3 in a DTM Collection

This model sits well alongside other early-1990s DTM entries, where rival manufacturer liveries from Mercedes, Audi and Opel create a genuine sense of period competition on the shelf. Because the doors and bonnet open, the stripped cabin and engine bay can be shown, both worth highlighting given the car's racing pedigree. Inspect livery and panel fit given the used condition, and treat the storage-marked box as a packaging note rather than a comment on the casting.
