Body Colour: Grey

The M3, when launched in 1986, was the first purpose-built BMW saloon specifically designed to race. It was a 'homologation special' taken to the ultimate extreme with wheelbase and track optimised for racing, a high revving powerful 2.3 litre, four cylinder, 16 valve engine, a close ratio 5-speed gearbox with a direct drive top gear, purposeful square arches and fully optimised suspension and brakes. Only available in left-hand drive and priced at a hefty £26,000 in the day - it was unsurprising that only a very limited number of cars came to the UK. However, they completely dominated on the circuits with Touring Car titles claimed Internationally, including the most prestigious UK and German Touring Car crowns.

This E30 was delivered new in Germany in 1987 and is therefore subsequently still in possession of the original German registration papers. Two owners enjoyed the car while on German roads and for the past 14 years this vehicle has lived happily in Denmark. More recently the Danish company, 'Youlux', have set about restoring this iconic car back to its former glory. There are photos on file detailing the work including the full respray and they report that the vehicle is mechanically sound and drives as it should. The interior does feature "Cecotto' seats from the 'Jonny Cecotto' M3 and the car as a whole, looks really great.

This usable and collectable car is now showing just over 200,000 km on the odometer, and who can blame the previous owners for driving this M3 as it was always intended! Few cars can match the driving dynamics of an M3, they look fabulous, and E30 M3s seem to engender real pride of ownership. Join the club.
