The LEGO Group has officially revealed the final LEGO Speed Champions set of the summer and the year, with 77263 BMW M3 (E30). Following an initial behind-the-scenes teaser from BMW M Motorsport, we now have official images of the brick-built car, which becomes just the second ever BMW Speed Champions model after 2024's 76922 BMW M4 GT3 & BMW M Hybrid V8 Race Cars.
The time, however, the August 2026 model shifts the focus from modern hypercars to historic touring legends, with an entirely brick-built recreation of the BMW M3 (E30). The 9+ model celebrates exactly four decades of the iconic 1980s homologation classic with a unique livery designed by both the LEGO Group and BMW. Once it's available from the 1st of August 2026, the second LEGO Speed Champions set releasing on this day will retail for the usual $29.99 / €27.99 / £22.99 with 358 pieces included.
Those 358 pieces cleverly capture the literal physical characteristics of the real-world car. The front section, for example, smartly integrates two LEGO fork elements positioned vertically to replicate the narrow slats of BMW's iconic kidney grille. Meanwhile, the bodywork and overall shaping focus on the heavily flared wheel arches, the flat front hood, and the distinct, boxy rear trunk of the 1980s E30 chassis.
The livery of the BMW M3 E30 is the most interesting and unique element of the LEGO Speed Champions model. The paint work has been uniquely collaborated between the two global brands, consisting of diagonal red, blue, and black graphics on a white base. A large number 40 can also be found on the brick-built hood, referencing the 40th anniversary of the BMW M3, with many of these details actually being prints rather than stickers.
Finally, golden wheel rims and detailing also appear on the car, which is built in the usual eight-stud-wide Speed Champions format with space for a single LEGO Minifigure. This figure has an exclusive BMW torso along with simple grey legs, a vibrant pink hairpiece and a LEGO wrench accessory.
