Lego and retailers will start selling the model on August 1.
Design Collaboration with BMW
Designers from Lego recently visited BMW's headquarters in Germany to perfect the recreation.
They worked closely with BMW's design team to capture the E30 M3's key details in brick form.
For instance, Lego will use two tiny forks to replicate the car's kidney grills.
The model joins the existing Speed Champions lineup, which includes the BMW M4 GT3 and BMW M Hybrid V8 LMDh.
According to Will Thorogood, head of design at New Business within the Lego Group, the team aimed to replicate many important details.

Several teaser images hint at the final design, but they are only mock-ups.
The livery combines black, red, blue, and white, with large '40' stickers on the doors.
It also features gold wheels, which may be included on the model.
BMW M head of design Michael Scully noted that the livery embraces Lego's layered block form while referencing past and present M Motorsport race liveries.
The large number 40 on the hood celebrates the M3's anniversary in a graphic language inspired by Lego's geometric aesthetic.
