BMW M3 Schnitzer

For more details of my builds, see this article: Taking Tamiya bodies to the next level

Having recently done the Linder M3 it was logical that the Schnitzer would follow, especially as I mentioned having bought two of these M3 bodies. The chassis is the modified TT-02D as before.

I did pretty much the same thing with this, but tried to go a little further so in addition to what the Linder car has, here's what's new:

  • Cut out grille and brake vents
  • Transponder dome on roof
  • Longer, black roof aerial
  • Added radiator (intercooler painted matte silver)
  • Combination of silver and black body lines, silver on white, black on other colours
  • Increased rear track, lowered ride height
  • Added missing Auto Motor und Sport logo (had to omit 'und' as too small for my vinyl cutter)
  • Stuck front Baumler plate to lexan and mounted with foam tape to give some depth
