SOLD in negotiations to the highest bidder for reserve.

This 1990 European spec BMW E30 M3 is just one of 738 convertibles produced and was purchased and imported from a private collection in Japan and into the U.K. in early 2021. This E30 M3 is powered by a BMW S14 2.3L Inline 4 cylinder driving the rear wheels via 5-speed manual transmission. This 1990 model year features upgraded horsepower from the previous catalyst S14 engine making 215hp. The car is finished in Deep Black and Black extended Nappa leather with the M tri-color stripes on both front and rear seats, as well as unique door panels with diagonal pleating. The car has just recently gone through an inspection and full service which includes oil/air filter, engine/gearbox/diff oil, coolant, pas fluid, and spark plugs. The car shows just 59,000km or about 37,000 miles and has reportedly been stored in dry indoor storage through its Japanese ownership.

The E30 M3 is arguably the most iconic M series car produced which carries a lot of significance in the eyes of many BMW collectors. The early M cars are an absolute blast to drive with a mechanical feel that modern cars just don’t offer. This particular M3 has a lot going for it as far as collectibility, including the more powerful engine, low production numbers, originality, and recent service.
