Onboard footage from Artur Deutgen's ex-DTM E30 M3 during the 2002 Langstrecken Meisterschaft at the Nürburgring-Nordschleife.

If you watch closely, you'll see the highly-tuned Falken Skyline R34-GTR blow past the BMW M3 (camera car) on the main straight at the beginning of the video. But once they get to the twisties, the old M3 is able to hold its own and keep the GTR in site. It is amazing that the old German touring car is able to keep up with a Japanese supercar 20 years its junior! This is truly a tribute to the brilliant engineering and build quality BMW instilled in the original M3.
