Replica Classic BMW M3 E30 Warsteiner Body
The famous three stripes donned in racing liveries of BMW's famous race cars since the 1970s have become iconic to the M brand through today. The blue stands for BMW, red for motorsport and violet for the unique combination of the two. With so many fantastic machines running this illustrious livery, it didn't take us long to settle on which version to replicate, as every true Touring Car fan will know the name Roberto Ravaglia. Roberto is one of the most successful racing drivers of this era and winner of seven titles in four different championships and every detail of his World beating 1987 car has been replicated for this Warsteiner edition of the RS4 SPORT 3.
The RS4 SPORT 3 Warsteiner BMW E30 runs on stunning replica, BBS RS Mesh wheels, synonymous with the early 80's BMW M series cars. Our 1/10 versions feature highly detailed and strong mesh spokes with details of the originals iconic two piece design completed by a painted finish in Gold and Silver. Each wheel is wrapped in our tried and tested SPEC-GRIP rubber tires for maximum grip and fun on the road with multi condition tread and high traction rubber compound.

WORK EMOTION XC8 WHEELS
The BMW E30 M3 is fitted with Work Emotion XC8 wheels, which provide a super-cool 'retro mod' look that is in between classic multi-spoke designs and a flowing organic style that looks bold and minimal at the same time - aggressive and functional, perfect for an updated 90s car look.

On the street, they are used on everything ranging from million-dollar McLaren F1 race cars to Spoon Sports Honda Civics.
TOYO PROXXES R1R T-DRIFT TIRES
Completing the drift package are official replicas of full-size Toyo Proxxes R1R high-spec performance tires, molded in a super-stiff, hard plastic that is perfect for scale drifting and really looks the part! These low-profile drift-specific tires are made for high-performance, realistic RC drift action! HPI drift tires are the ideal way to get drifting quickly and easily. The replica tread pattern looks fantastic, and only gets better with age as the tires wear down, just like the real thing!
BMW E30 M3:
THE ULTIMATE RETRO SPORTS CAR!
One of the most famous "homologation specials" ever produced, the original M3 was produced to satisfy the requirements for DTM and Group A touring car racing: 5000 copies were required to be sold within 12 months in order to allow the circuit racing version to race.
Debuting in 1985 at the illustrious Frankfurt Motor Show, the "M" version of the roadgoing E30 was produced primarily in coupe (2-door) body style, with a very limited number available as cabriolet convertibles. The body was extensively remade for the M3 version - most famously the extra-wide, boxy wheel arches front and rear, but with lightened and raised rear bodywork, refined windscreen and other improvements only a few pieces of the original body - doors, engine hood, and roof - remained unchanged from the original production car. With "only" 200 horsepower from its modified inline 4-cylinder engine, and uprated brakes to match, the 2-door coupe destined for executives was transformed into a circuit-smashing beast.
Today, the BMW M3 is still considered the most successful Group A and German Touring Car Championship (DTM) touring car ever unleased. In 1987, in only its second year of competition, Italian Roberto Ravaglia, driving for Schnitzer Racing, won the World Championship title in the BMW M3. There were also countless wins at the 24 Hours Nürburgring, the 24 Hours of Spa, Belgium, the DTM, and even as a rally car.
And by the early 2000s, multiple sports car publications had named the E30 M3 among the top sports cars of all time. These days, the selling price of original M3 cars can reach over $100,000 - but now, it's available as a fantastic Japan-inspired drift machine, ready for your command!
ONE-PIECE MOLDED CHASSIS
The main chassis is formed from a single piece of reinforced plastic and features the drivetrain tunnel molded right down the middle, just like a real car. It's a step beyond any plastic tub chassis car available today.
LOW PROFILE LAYOUT DESIGN
One of the ways we gave the Sport 3 Drift the best possible handling was to make sure all the components fit as low as possible in the chassis. This gives the car an amazingly low center of gravity for optimum cornering capabilities.
2S LIPO CAPABLE
The Sport 3 Drift features a versatile electronic speed controller that can be used with modern lithium-polymer (LiPo) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. Please note a LiPo adapter plug is not included, your model shop will be able to provide one
