What sets this car apart.
- 01This E30-generation BMW M3 is a desirable homologation-era performance icon, finished in a timeless colour scheme and fitted with some appealing modifications.
- 02It is powered by a naturally aspirated 2.3-litre inline-four ‘S14’, producing around 143kW and driving the rear wheels through a rebuilt five-speed ‘dogleg’ manual transmission and a 3.46 limited-slip differential.
- 03As outlined in the accompanying owner-written history document (which is available to view in the image gallery), This M3 is noted to have been first registered in the USA, before being purchased by a BMW technician in 2012, who imported it into Australia in 2013.
- 04It was subsequently converted from left to right-hand drive using parts from a 318i donor car, a job which was completed in 2014. The interior colour was changed from beige to black, and various mechanical components were replaced, overhauled or modified.
- 05The odometer shows 153,211 km, but this is not the accurate total, as the instrument cluster is said to have been replaced with around 200,000 miles on the clock.
