About the BMW M3 E30 #3 J. Cecotto Warsteiner DTM 1991 AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast BMW M3 E30 reproduces car #3 driven by Johnny Cecotto in Warsteiner livery during the 1991 DTM season. Doors and bonnet open on this touring car legend, a cornerstone piece for any DTM collection.

The E30 M3 dominated touring car racing across multiple championships, and Cecotto's Warsteiner-liveried car is among the most recognisable from the DTM's golden era.

AUTOart's Diecast Detail on the DTM M3

Zinc alloy construction gives this race car genuine weight, and the doors and bonnet both open, revealing the stripped-out cabin and race-prepared engine bay behind the Warsteiner sponsor livery. That livery is applied with the tampo precision needed to keep the beer brand's distinctive branding sharp at 1:18, and the E30's flared arches and prominent rear wing, both DTM-specification additions over the road car, are rendered with the crisp edges diecast tooling handles well on the car's boxy bodywork.

The Cecotto M3's Place in DTM History

DTM's early-1990s era produced some of touring car racing's most competitive and closely fought seasons, and Cecotto's factory-backed BMW effort was a genuine contender throughout. Car #3 and its Warsteiner colours are instantly recognisable to anyone who followed the series, making this a meaningful piece for a DTM-themed collection rather than a generic race liveried car. At around 21cm, it pairs naturally with its #11 teammate car from the same season, and the diecast build's opening panels reward the kind of close inspection a genuine motorsport piece deserves.
