e30 Trophy Room

[Aptyp]

I want to know what ha e30 won and when. Over the last 26 years of e30 chassis being around, it still picks up wins in some events, I thought we'd have a thread about all of it.

So, we'll need:

Year, Event, Country, Model, Drivers and other details. And possibly what did it compete against.

We'll edit this list into a chronological order.

Please do not post Spec e30 results, as it's a testament of it's own that we even have that class.

If you take the M3 out of the mix, obviously the list gets pretty short. BMW knew a rubber timing belt was not a good recipe for race wins.
