In all of motorsport, there's perhaps no better wild mix of drifting European sports cars – artful Japanese motorsport and highly-strung European classics just don't mix! …or do they?! We've mixed and mashed the classic autosport design of the original E30 M3 with high-revving, sideways-going drift action!
This Sport 3 Drift features the ultra-cool BMW M3 complete with extra-wide wheel arches, front air dam and a big street-style rear wing! The car is also fitted with replica Work Emotion XC8 wheels wrapped with officially licensed Toyo Proxxes tires for awesome scale realism, so it's ready to hit the drift scene right out of the box!
Under the hood, this 1/10th scale officially licensed replica is equipped with the latest HPI Racing Touring Car chassis, the Sport 3 Drift!

BMW E30 M3:The Ultimate Retro Sports Car!
One of the most famous “homologation specials” ever produced, the original M3 was produced to satisfy the requirements for DTM and Group A touring car racing: 5000 copies were required to be sold within 12 months in order to allow the circuit racing version to race.
Debuting in 1985 at the illustrious Frankfurt Motor Show, the “M” version of the roadgoing E30 was produced primarily in coupe (2-door) body style, with a very limited number available as cabriolet convertibles. The body was extensively remade for the M3 version – most famously the extra-wide, boxy wheel arches front and rear, but with lightened and raised rear bodywork, refined windscreen and other improvements only a few pieces of the original body – doors, engine hood, and roof – remained unchanged from the original production car. With “only” 200 horsepower from its modified inline 4-cylinder engine, and uprated brakes to match, the 2-door coupe destined for executives was transformed into a circuit-smashing beast.
Today, the BMW M3 is still considered the most successful Group A and German Touring Car Championship (DTM) touring car ever unleased. In 1987, in only its second year of competition, Italian Roberto Ravaglia, driving for Schnitzer Racing, won the World Championship title in the BMW M3. There were also countless wins at the 24 Hours Nürburgring, the 24 Hours of Spa, Belgium, the DTM, and even as a rally car.
And by the early 2000s, multiple sports car publications had named the E30 M3 among the top sports cars of all time. These days, the selling price of original M3 cars can reach over $100,000 – but now, it's available as a fantastic Japan-inspired drift machine, ready for your command!
