Exhaust and Record since 2011. The BMW E30 M3 has had a cult-like
following that is undeniable since the car first appeared, and that
still stands true today. This example shows excellently and is
ready to engage in some spirited backroads excursions.The M3 was
designed with track-inspired technology. This includes a Front air
dam that increases downforce on the front axle and directs a flow
of cool air to the brakes and oil cooler. The Rear Window Spoiler,
Trunk Lid, Air Dams, and Bumpers were created with a special
plastic and fiberglass compound. This created a better weight to
power ratio that was already impressive for a car that weighs just
over 2,600 lbs. The front wheels are independently suspended on
single pivot McPherson Struts, the rears on semi-trailing arms. The
comfortability aspect of BMW did not let the "Race Car" aspect get
in the way. With leather seats and plenty of features to make your
cruise easy to handle, the M3 is the perfect combination of agility
and driveability.The E30 M3 debuted at the 1985 Frankfurt motor
show. The production of the E30 road car was to homologate the M3
for Group A Touring car racing. The BMW E30 M3 would become the
winningest model in Touring Car history. The M3, although using the
same basic unit-body shell as the standard E30, was equipped with
12 different and unique body panels for the purposes of improving
aerodynamics, as well as "box flared" wheel-arches in the front and
rear to accommodate a wider track with wider and taller wheels and
tires. The only exterior body panels the standard model 3 Series
and the M3 shared were the hood, roof panel, sunroof, and door
panels. Upgrades over the "standard" 3 Series automobiles include
more powerful and responsive engines, improved
handling/suspension/braking systems, aerodynamic body enhancements,
lightweight components, and interior/exterior accents with the
tri-color "M" (Motorsport) emblem. Production of the original E30
M3 ended in early 1992.For more information on this rare 1988 BMW
