The BMW M3 was born out of the Bavarian manufacturer's desire to create an FIA Group A competition car. In order to homologate its competition model, BMW had to market a civilian version of at least 5,000 units. Unveiled at the 1985 Frankfurt Motor Show, production began the following spring. It was fitted with special fascias, wider wings, a rear spoiler and a rear window with a revised angle to achieve an air penetration coefficient of 0.33. This first M3 was to become a true legend, symbolising in its own right the sporting and chic image of the brand.
