The result of a passionate 14-year build, the 900kg track-ready E21 was created by a father-and-son team Paul and Ethan Foster from Wickford, Essex.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Foster\u2019s 1982 BMW E21 3-Series combines aggressive Group 2 styling with bespoke engineering in a true life-size Hot Wheels car. The 345\/35\/15 rear tyres, fibreglass wide-arch kit, alloy diffuser and deep front splitter give it a muscular stance, while the race livery featuring violet, red and blue accents, is a nod to 80s and 90s BMW touring cars. An original Group 5 rear wing, now with a carbon blade, adds downforce and drama in equal measure, whilst under the bonnet sits a 420 bhp 5.0 litre Rover V8 with twin Jenvey throttle bodies. Other performance features include flame spitting side pipes, DTM Getrag gearbox and Quaife LSD whilst GAZ coilovers and uprated Willwood brakes ensure it handles as well as its looks.<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/eu.vocuspr.com\/Publish\/3904272\/vcsPRAsset_3904272_503590_9ec62f3e-823d-4c4f-ad23-52f512e1649b_0.jpg\" alt=\"Hot Wheels Legends Tour UK 2025 Winner BMW 3 Series (1).jpg\" width=\"310\" data-imagetype=\"External\" \/><\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/eu.vocuspr.com\/Publish\/3904272\/vcsPRAsset_3904272_503591_d7478783-1377-44dc-87a7-87671c7a9e3d_0.jpg\" alt=\"Hot Wheels Legends Tour UK 2025 Winner BMW 3 Series (5).jpg\" width=\"310\" data-imagetype=\"External\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s amazing to win the Hot Wheels Legends Tour UK.
