Long before BMW became synonymous with Touring car racing, they began their domination with this car. Matchbox's car is one of their finest in its stunning Jagermeister livery, and remained largely unchanged in the UK & US guise.
The big curiousity is it was referred to as a BMW 3.0 CSL in the 1978 Powertrack catalogue, but a BMW 320i in the US catalogue of 1978 & 79. I actually think it's a 320i too...
Apart from the excellent Jagermeister version and the Positraction & PPlus versions to follow, there also existed two other versions of note.
The first is the chase car used in European versions of the Race & Chase set, badged PT-6100. This car was orange with yellow detailing.
The other version (above) is that found in the Slipstream set. Essentially the same as the Jagermeister version but also having the dorsal fin upon its roof to activate the lap counter.
