1. Twenty Years of the BMW M3 - a Legend in Sports.
(Short Version)
It is one of the most successful chapters in the history of the automobile
and in international motorsport alike: the story of the BMW M3 - and to this
day, the end of this unique success story is not even in sight.

In 2006 BMW and BMW M GmbH celebrated the 20th birthday of the most successful
touring car of all times. Within two decades, three generations of the BMW M3
have successfully entered and conquered both the market and the race track,
each of these models quite unique and legendary in its own right. Dominating
the racing scene and paving the way on the road for a new species of
particularly sporting, but nevertheless highly practical series-production cars
fully suited for everyday use, the BMW M3 to this day thrills a loyal and
constantly growing group of enthusiasts and aficionados the
world over.
