BMW M3 DTM (E92)

The BMW M3 DTM is a DTM touring car constructed by the German manufacturer BMW, developed in 2010 and raced in the DTM seasons from the series' return after twenty years away in 2012 until the end of the 2013 season, when the M4 DTM succeeded it. It was designed by BMW chief engineer Dominic Harlow and based on the E92 production car. BMW began development, design and construction in October 2010 alongside the announcement of its return to DTM for 2012; the first chassis was assembled in mid-2011 and the first vehicle completed in late 2011. The P66 engine generates approximately 480 bhp with the air restrictor specified in the regulations. Homologation was completed on 1 March 2012 and the car made its race debut at the Hockenheimring DTM round on 29 April 2012. As of 2017 it had scored ten victories, nine poles and seven fastest laps.
