A legend. A car with soul, character, and perfect balance. Everything depended on the driver – no assists, just pure chemistry. You could sync with it like with your best companion. Today, it stands as a true DTM icon and the car of the legendary Patrick Snijers – and rightfully so.
This is potentially the strongest axle that can be used to fight for victories in the FIA European Historic Rally Championship. Group A BMW E30 M3s have won World Championship rallies and national championships, and Thierry Neuville and Dani Sordo have one in their garages. The BMW has more power than the 911, is slightly lighter, is equipped with a claw gearbox and – above all – has a front engine. It’s a completely different construction. It’s a decade apart from the Porsche I drove, and technologically it’s an era. The 911 has plenty of torque in the lower rev range and a synchronized gearbox. In M3 it’s the other way around! The BMW engine operates most efficiently at high speeds, up to 9,000 rpm. It’s like a kitcar, only with rear-wheel drive!
