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 recreates the Warsteiner #2 car that won Eric van de Poele the 1987 DTM championship. Widened arches, period sponsor livery, and genuine title-winning history make this a standout piece for German touring-car collectors.

The E30 M3 built its road-car reputation on homologation rules, but it was cars like this Warsteiner-liveried DTM champion that proved the platform on track.

Minichamps' DTM-Spec E30 Build

The widened arches, deep front splitter and boxy rear spoiler that distinguish a DTM-spec E30 from a road M3 are all present, and Minichamps' Warsteiner livery is applied with the sharp, legible sponsor lettering the brand's diecast is known for on race subjects. The number 2 and championship-year markings sit cleanly across the bonnet and doors. Diecast weight gives the model a satisfying heft, and the wider touring-car stance compared to a standard E30 M3 comes through clearly at 1:18, with period-correct racing wheels and tyres rather than road-spec rubber.

A Genuine Championship Piece

Winning the DTM title in 1987 places this specific car in the E30 M3's most significant competition record, which gives it more collecting weight than a generic touring-car livery would carry. At 1:18 the widened racing bodywork sits distinctly among road-going E30 M3s, so displaying this alongside a standard street M3 usefully shows how far the touring-car version diverged from its road-legal base. German touring-car collectors, and E30 M3 specialists building out the model's full competition history, will find this a genuinely important addition rather than a decorative racing repaint, and its DTM championship status alone justifies a place in any serious 1980s touring-car collection.
