One of the most iconic automotive nameplates in history has received a fitting birthday present, with the BMW M3 E30 joining the Lego Speed Champions lineup to mark four decades since it launched.

The 358-piece kit captures the E30's most recognisable design cues – thanks to the sharp-edged nature of the bricks – including the kidney grille, rear spoiler, and the distinctive four round headlights that defined the original M3's nose. 

Wearing a livery that draws on BMW M Motorsport heritage, the paint scheme has also been applied to a real, full-size M3 E30 showcar — meaning the plastic brick replica and the actual vehicle will share an identical look when the set is released on August 1, 2026.

The full-size BMW M3 and its Lego counterpart

At 17cm long and 7cm wide, it comes with functional wheels and a driver minifigure wearing a BMW M T-shirt – the latter of which can be bought from BMW’s merchandise shop.

Australian pricing starts from $39.99, roughly on par with the vast majority of Lego Speed Champions kits.

It’s been a big year for Lego’s automotive department, which also launched a Speed Champions kit of [Ken Block’s Hoonicorn Ford Mustang](https://torquecafe.com/ken-block-immortalised-with-new-hoonicorn-lego-set/), as well as [Michael Schumacher’s Ferrari F2004](https://torquecafe.com/michael-schumacher-record-setting-f1-ferrari-immortalised-in-lego/).
