BMW E30 M3 #52 1988 ETCC (Version 2) in 1:43 scale
This is the BMW E30 M3 #52 1988 ETCC (Version 2) in 1:43 scale by IXO.
The BMW E30 M3 #52, driven by Jacques Laffite and Olivier Grouillard, competed in the 1988 European Touring Car Championship (ETCC), a season that marked the final year of the championship before its cancellation. The E30 M3, renowned for its high-revving 2.3L naturally aspirated engine and exceptional handling, was a dominant force in Group A racing. Laffite, a former Formula 1 driver, brought his experience to touring cars, while Grouillard was an emerging talent. This version of the ETCC featured intense manufacturer battles, particularly between BMW, Ford, and Mercedes-Benz. The series' financial struggles led to its discontinuation after 1988, making this race one of the last in a legendary era of European touring car racing.
Excellent quality and finish. Beautifully crafted and exquisitely detailed. Models are hand
painted, decorated and assembled. Beautiful detail and accuracy of shape and scale. Photo
etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are also used. Each model
comes with its own acrylic display case.
