Okay this could be a biggie! With over 300 "kits" produced by BMW Motorsport between 1987 and 1992, (270 Group A and 60 Group N according to BMW racing team manager Karsten Engel) and "works" cars being run by Schnitzer, Zakspeed, Bigazzi, Cibiemme and Linder, amongst others, this could be one very big jigsaw to piece together by anyones standards. What I would like to do is try to get together a list of all the cars that were supplied new as "kits" by BMW Motorsport, not just the ones assembled by the works supported teams. These Matter prepared shells carry a chassis number beginning "M3 1-xx" with lower numbers being earlier cars obviously. I am hoping for a reply from BMW Motorsport in the next week or two, hopefully they may be able to shed some light on who some of these cars were delivered to.
It is ONLY these cars I am interested in, as the number of M3's that have been turned into race cars over the years would probably run into the thousands by now. Once we have a few chassis numbers up I will sort them into order. If you have one of these cars, or know of someone who does, please post details of the chassis number up, along with any known history of the car. To all you Brits who are worried about scammers or thiefs who might read this and want to come over and nick your car, I don't want your address or contact details, but the counrty where the car lives now would be good. Also, info on any cars that were destroyed would be useful to fill in the gaps.
Over to you guys!
