The BMW M3 (E30) has started a legacy that has yet to end over the
past 30 years. When the E30 M3 was launched in 1985 it was done so
to keep BMW current and competitive with Mercedes-Benz who had just
released the 190E 2.3-16 Cosworth. As it made its way on the track
in Touring Car Championships around the globe, it soon became a
real contender and the benchmark for BMW Performance. The M3 has
won at world-renowned races such as the 24 Hours of Nurburgring,
World Touring Car Championship Drivers Title in 1987, and countless
wins across the globe on both tarmac circuits and rally settings.
By 1988 BMW finally started delivering U.S. spec” examples of the
M3 to North America, both factory and privateer teams immediately
put them to work on the track. A small enthusiasts base was quickly
growing for the new M Car, and would ultimately prove to be a love
affair with the brand and the basis for BMW to keep making more
units and further improving their technology. This E30 M3 is a new
arrival here at Symbolic International and we are proud to announce
it "For Sale". With this car being a factory M3 "E30" it was also
re-created as a Group A touring on the exterior. Despite the
homolagtion requirements, the Group A version of the M3 was
drastically different than the road-going version. This is most
apparent in the price difference between to two. $120,000 USD was
the factory price for a new race ready M3 while the US spec M3 sold
for $34,000. Although this was a re-creation from the original
factory M3, it was done to exact specs of the factory Group A
touring race version on the exterior. We have all documents and
receipts on this M3 with a full binder of history. This M3 was very
well cared for by a local BMW enthusiast/Collector that kept
meticulous records. Please contact us for more information.
