Description
We are pleased to present our 1987 BMW M3. This BMW M3 is a European-market example that was sold new in Switzerland and was imported to the US following the original selling dealer's acquisition in 2022. Our M3 is finished from the factory in Alpine White (146) and features M3-specific exterior details that include aerodynamic front and rear bumper covers, side skirts, a rear spoiler, and a decklid, rear glass, and C-pillars that were revised from the standard 3-series models. Additional equipment includes an electric sunroof, headlight washers and wipers, integrated driving lights, a roof-mounted antenna, body-color side mirrors, and twin exhaust outlets. Exterior wear is noted and includes paint chips and abrasion along the lower front bumper cover. Silver-finished 15″ basketweave alloy wheels are mounted with 205/55 Yokohama Advan Fleva tires that were replaced in March 2022. Our E30 M3 is equipped with a thicker rear anti-roll bar and stiffer springs than the standard 3-series, and braking is handled by four-wheel anti-lock discs. The interior features front sport seats and bolstered rear seating trimmed in gray cloth with houndstooth inserts and matching door panels. Appointments include gray carpets, electric windows, headlight leveling control, an onboard computer, a cassette tape magazine, and a BMW Bavaria AM/FM cassette player. The three-spoke steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation that includes a 260-km/h speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and gauges measuring oil temperature, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer indicates 179k kilometers (111k miles). The 2.3-liter S14 inline-four features dual overhead camshafts and individual throttle bodies, and it was factory rated at 197 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a dog-leg five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Documentation accompanying the car includes manufacturer's literature, partial service records, a Car-Pass report, and import paperwork. Our '87 e30 M3 had a full major service by Gaswerks Garage in September 2022. Gaswerks fully rebuilt front suspension. Gaswerks Garage also performed the transmission service, diff fluid change, oil & filter change, topped off all fluids, replaced front and rear pads and rotors.
