About the BMW 325i E30 #2 O. Manthey Vogelsang Automobile 3rd Place Eifel Race DTM 1986 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast BMW 325i E30 #2 reproduces Olaf Manthey's third-place Vogelsang Automobile car from the 1986 Eifel Race DTM round. This period E30 livery captures an early chapter for a driver whose name later became synonymous with Nürburgring endurance racing.

DTM's early years ran E30 325i machinery against a genuinely varied field of manufacturers, and every podium result from this period carries its own small piece of the series' founding story.

Faithful Detail on a Compact Touring Silhouette

The Vogelsang Automobile livery sits cleanly across the E30's flanks, with sponsor branding kept sharp and legible at 1:18 rather than blurring into a generic decal sheet. Minichamps' zinc alloy body holds the E30's boxy, upright stance without exaggeration, and the number two roundel sits centred on the doors as period photographs confirm. Panel gaps stay tight around the bonnet and boot, and the wheel and tyre proportions match the Group A regulations of the period rather than a modern aftermarket look.

An Early Step in a Longer Racing Story

Manthey's third-place finish at the Eifel Race sits within DTM's formative years, a period when the series still shared circuits and calendar dates with other German motorsport disciplines. Displayed alongside other E30 liveries from the same mid-1980s seasons, this diecast fills a genuine gap for anyone building a DTM grid rather than chasing famous names alone, since the depth of an era comes from filling out its lesser-known podium finishers too.
