For Sale: 1990 BMW M3 in Miami, Florida

The BMW E30 M3 Johnny Cecotto Edition is an exceptionally rare and desirable model, produced in a limited run of 480 units between April 1989 and December 1990. Celebrating the victories of BMW driver Johnny Cecotto in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft, this edition stands out as one of the most sought-after and powerful E30 M3s ever made.

This edition was available with two types of five-speed Getrag 265 manual gearboxes: the "dogleg" for Europe and the classic "H" pattern for North America and Japan. Like true sports cars, it retained rear-wheel drive, and its chassis, based on the E30 3 Series, was significantly reworked by BMW Motorsport for improved performance.

Externally, the car featured M3 Evolution II front and rear spoilers and 16-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels. Under the hood was a 215 hp 2.3-liter S14 engine, enhanced with a reprogrammed Bosch electronic control unit. It was offered in three exclusive colors: Misano Red, Macao Blue, and Nogaro Silver metallic.

The interior sported special anthracite-silver M-Technic cloth seats with Bison leather reinforcements. Options included Nappa Black or Silver leather. Additional features were an illuminated gear knob, an on-board computer, power windows, and a signed center console plaque from Johnny Cecotto himself.

The E30 M3 Johnny Cecotto Edition is not only a rare gem but also a highly drivable classic, blending race-inspired heritage with everyday usability.
