The BMW M3 DTM E92: A Look at the Original

The BMW M3 DTM (E92) from 2012 was developed by BMW M GmbH specifically for the DTM racing series. This exclusive version of the BMW M3 is based on the E92 generation, built from 2007 to 2013. With BMW's return to the DTM in 2012, the company introduced a technical masterpiece characterized by excellent aerodynamics and powerful engine technology. The engineers, led by Charly Lamm and Jens Marquardt, meticulously fine-tuned this modern racing car.

The BMW M3 DTM featured a 4.0-liter V8 engine producing around 480 horsepower, paired with a six-speed sequential gearbox.

Another technical highlight was the aerodynamically optimized design, fine-tuned through numerous wind tunnel tests. The close collaboration between designers and aerodynamicists resulted in a vehicle that was not only high-performing but also highly stable and driver-friendly.
