If you are a Gen X or older, if you hear M3 the only car that comes to mind is the first generation M3 built from 1986 through 1991. It was based on the E30 3-series and was intended to be a homologation special to satisfy the Group A touring rules, which requires a total of 5,000 units to be built and sold. It was outfitted with some body modifications including wider rear, brakes, transmission and many other things. In 2007 Automobile magazine included the E30 M3 in their “5 greatest driver cars of all time”, that's a pretty big brag if you ask me and also well deserved. This particular stunning example has traveled just over 49,000 miles from new and is finished in the very attractive Brooklyn Grey over black. This car did have a full EAG out of Ohio service and detail completed back in 2021 and honestly the car looks like it has 5,000 miles on it. The paint and interior show fantastic, the engine bay is as tidy as can be and mechanically, well, it is good as the car looks. It starts perfectly, there is no smoke, no leaks and is 100% ready to go. There are no lights on the dash except when there is supposed to be, all the gauges and lights work. This car is true gem that comes with all of its EAG paperwork and clean carfax. These E30 M3's have proven themselves in the collector car market has a blue chip investment and the good ones like this will only continue to go up. Please let us know if you have any questions and would like to schedule an inspection.
