Can anyone identify this M3 touring car livery?

[m3guru(2)]

I bought this from a Japanese seller 20 years ago. The body set is a first gen Schnitzer M3 but the decals and exact livery are a mystery. I'm guessing it's 80s or 90s Japanese Group N or JTCC.

Are the decals custom or created by a company?

What does the real car look like? My english Google search didn't provide much. Maybe a Japanese language search can help. 

If it's not based off of a real racing car, then I'd feel better using it as a running body. 

Thanks for any help.

I put this in the wrong subforum....sorry it's been a while. Please move to the appropriate location.

Nevermind....I think the original Schnitzer M3 does fall in the "first 150" list. Looks like it can stay here.

Thanks. Saw that one actually. It looks to be a later model BMW. Same racing team though.

I've found a reference to the sticker set being sold under the brand "Traco", so I don't think it is custom. But no idea on the history of the real car (I assume it is a real car livery).

Here's a picture of the real car on FB;

It's not the no. 92 but same livery.

Yep.  it's a E36 and your body is an E30.

Aaah yes! Good find! There probably is a real 92 car. Many thanks.
