History
The BMW M3 E30 Group A, launched in 1987, was designed by BMW Motorsport with the sole aim of homologating a highly competitive racing car for the French and European Touring Car Championships. It dominated global motorsport for five years, amassing an unrivalled record of achievements including two World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) titles and multiple victories at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring. Having become an icon thanks to its numerous victories on the circuit and in rallying, it defined the compact sports saloon segment before being phased out in 1991.
This model was built by ‘Delage caisse Matter’. Having competed in numerous rallies, this M3 was fully restored in 2005.
Built from scratch by Hugues Delage, it subsequently raced under his ownership (technical passport available) and finished the French Rally Championship’s second division in second place in 1996 behind Sylvain Polo in a Renault Megane Maxi, before being sold to Trojani, a Corsican driver. An expert’s report dating from 1998, drawn up at the time of sale, is available.
The car was subsequently acquired by Jean-Louis Langlade, also a former driver. The current owner bought it in 2019. Since 2022, the car has competed in several VHRS events such as the Rallycircuit de la Sainte-Baume, the Rallye du Var and the historic Tour de Corse. Its entire history is fully documented, with numerous supporting documents: official paperwork, maintenance and repair invoices.
This model has therefore had the opportunity to compete in numerous official events. In 2004, the crew went off the road. The chassis was undamaged, but everything else was affected. So, to continue into the following season in 2005, the car needed to be fully restored. A complete rebuild was carried out by Francis Dosières, former French hillclimb champion and specialist in Group A M3s.
The car was therefore fitted with a brand-new MATTER body, incorporating all the latest developments of the time. It is a genuine MATTER body, with a race weight of 1,105 kg.

This car is currently in outstanding condition.
The bodywork is in very good condition and free from corrosion. The alignment and fit are good. The white paintwork, perfectly smooth, is complemented by Yacco stickers, the main sponsor. The wheels are well preserved. The headlight lenses show no particular defects. This example is fitted with additional long-range headlights.
Inside, the car is fitted with a roll cage, two Recaro bucket seats, OMP five-point harnesses, an intercom and all other equipment required for a crew competing in official races. All on-board components are in working order.
The ‘S14’ engine starts normally; it is lively and revs up sharply. It is fitted with a Delage carbon fibre intake and aviation-grade hoses. The gear changes in the dog-clutch gearbox are crisp. The road holding is excellent. The car is sold with a set of new wet-weather tyres and two additional wheels.
Although this model has not competed in official events for several years, the owner insists that his M3 must nevertheless be serviced by recognised professionals. To this end, Garage Joffroy was commissioned in 2022, a specialist in the preparation of rally cars.
