Historical Background: The BMW M3 Tour de Corse
In 1987, BMW achieved a major motorsport victory when the E30 M3 won the Tour de Corse, one of the most challenging events in the World Rally Championship. To commemorate the achievement, BMW France commissioned a limited production run of just 50 Tour de Corse editions based on the already desirable E30 M3 Evolution I.
These cars featured unique Tour de Corse identification plaques and badging, along with equipment and trim details exclusive to the French market. Produced in extremely limited numbers, the Tour de Corse edition has become one of the most sought-after variants of the E30 M3, a model already regarded as one of the greatest homologation specials ever built.
