    i heard they were not released in the U.S but in Canada and Brazil or something? Not sure.

      Nah, I believe that is only the white racing e30 m3.

        Can anyone explain why the package reads 1992 M3? The M3 was just about the only E30 not produced that late.

          I noticed that too. Probably because hot wheels aren't always so accurate! Look at the bottom of the 2002, there's a lot of funny little descrepancies to how they really are, but that's serious nitpicking.

            Perhaps they based it on the last year it raced?

                Managed to find a white m coupe, a blue 2002 and a white 2002, two black m coupes an a white e90 m3 GTR tho.

                oooh, nice! I need the E92 M3 GTR! It's cool how they are doing lots of the BMW Motorsport cars! There has to be a BMW nut designing at hotwheels right now.

                  Got mine done, can't tell much detail since it's a dark color.





                  here is another M3 made by Welly. Same size as the hot wheels, but still a cheap car

                      Do the detailing after the clear coat ;). I use a toothpick for the details.

                          Checked Target (who thankfully about doubled the size of their section), Wal-Mart, Fred Meyer, and 2 Rite-Aids, still nothing yet. But I'm not worried, because when the 2002's came out, we didn't get them here for a while.

                              Same over here - I hit up Freddies as well and no joy but it did have a huge selection - going to have to check again soon.
