Difference between revisions of "BMW M3 Challenge"
From PCGamingWiki, the wiki about fixing PC games
(Added the latest archived official sie. The existing archived download link on this page can be reached by using the "BMW M3 Coupé Website" mirror.) |
(Removed the previous link as it keeps failing to properly download even after re-tries, switching browsers, download managers and even machines and networks. As far as I can tell it's broken. Use the archive of the official site to download it (worked in Firefox after multiple re-tries while "baby-sitting" it).) |
