It"s finally here. A month after announcing the 3 Series would return to the British Touring Car Championship, BMW has revealed its race-tuned 330i M Sport. And my, doesn"t it look good. The 3 Series competed in the BTCC between 1988 and 2009, in which time it won five drivers" and two manufacturers" titles. In 2013 BMW swapped to the 1 Series, but last month announced "one of the most evocative cars in BTCC history" would return to the grid this year. The car pictured here, with its rather fetching M Sport livery, will be driven by three-time (and reigning) champion Colin Turkington and teammate Tom Oliphant. The third car, driven by Andrew Jordan, will wear a Pirtek Racing livery. All three cars were prepared by West Surrey Racing, ahead of the first test at Brand Hatch tomorrow, and first race in early April.
