BMW 3-Series M3 (E36) Coupe #9 1994 DTM Season Frank Schmickler in 1:18 scale
This is the BMW 3-Series M3 (E36) Coupe #9 1994 DTM Season Frank Schmickler in 1:18 scale by WERK83.
The BMW 3-Series M3 (E36) Coupe, entered by Team Linder and driven by Frank Schmickler during the 1994 DTM season, represented one of the last privateer BMW efforts in the championship before the brand's withdrawal. Schmickler, a seasoned German touring car driver, faced intense competition from factory-backed teams, particularly Mercedes and Opel, as DTM cars evolved into high-tech racing machines. The 1994 season was unique as it marked the transition of DTM into the International Touring Car Championship (ITC) era, with increasing costs and technology pushing the series toward a more global scale. While the E36 M3 had strong handling and balance, it struggled against the more powerful and aerodynamic Class 1 rivals, making Schmickler's efforts a true underdog fight.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. These diecast
models are exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Interior detail is hand assembled and easily
visible. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for a most
authentic replication.
