We were talking about that long time ago. Works BMW need to compete in the series where their market rivals are. BMW need to advertise their M3 in USA and Japan. What they can do? Of course, they are already in Grand-Am (well, their engine and nostrils) and ALMS. But they can not make money with their M3 GT2. They need cheep solution. Voila, here DTM M3 comes.
And. FIA couldn't work out a true international platform for touringcars (well, smth like touring, as only BMW 320si is a true touring car and Chevy and Seat are real prototypes with non serial engine, not saying about Lada). Maybe manufacturers will be able to make it on their own? Put a new Group 5 forward!
