Launched in 1986, the BMW M3 was the most powerful 3-Series BMW had ever built and was developed by BMW's Motorsport division for DTM and FIA Group A racing. While based on the E30 chassis, the M3 shared few parts with the standard model. On the outside, BMW added a larger rear spoiler, a deep front splitter, and muscular flared-wheel arches. The heart of the M3 was the S14 DOHC 2.3-liter, four-cylinder, 16-valve engine with individual throttle bodies, and Bosch Motronic fuel management. Mated to a Getrag five-speed gearbox, the high-revving motor developed 192 hp at 6,750 rpm in US-specification trim. Suspension tuning and braking systems were likewise updated and improved for the M3's overtly more sporting mission.

This 1990 BMW M3 is finished in Sterling Silver over a black leather upholstery, and according to Vehicle History Reports, remained in California between 1993 and 2012. Seemingly driven regularly, it accrued the majority of its recorded mileage by 2005. This particular M3 was known and well maintained within Rudy Mancinas' collection of predominantly BMW and Porsche automobiles since late 2017 and presents very well in largely original specification and condition. The driver side front fender has a bmw dot-r sticker indicating a certified replacement. All other factory VIN stickers are located throughout and pictured.

In November 2022, the BMW would receive an inspection and comprehensive major service by Bennett Motor Werks in Dallas, Texas. Work included installation of Hella headlamps, new spark plugs, engine oil and filter, adjust valve clearances + new valve cover gasket, clean fuel injectors, replace coolant, lubricate joints and hinges, new window switch, inspect electrical system. Over $4,400 invested. A follow up 2023 extensive dry ice detailing then brought this already fantastic E30 to the next level of presentation.

Accompanied by Books, Tools, Jack, Spare, 'BMW M3' Euro Plate, CARFAX and AutoCheck Vehicle History Reports, here is an excellent opportunity to acquire an honest and iconic M3 of increasingly collectability from our Houston, Texas showroom.
