1987 BMW M3 E30 - Lot 122
1987 BMW M3 E30 The one that started the legend Serial number: WBSAK010300844264 Original French 130 000 km French title The M3 E30 is the first version of a true automotive myth, still on the market today. Designed in the mid 80's to restore the brand's reputation in competition and to compete with the Mercedes 190E 2.3 16 and the Ford Sierra Cosworth, the recipe used by the tuner Motorsport is still the same: based on the small 3 series sedan, preparing the engine in a masterly way and sharpening the chassis. The result is also always the same: a car that can be used on a daily basis and capable of setting fast times on the track. As for the engine, it is Paul Rosche who will give birth to a 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine developing 195 horsepower that will allow the M3 E30 to go from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds and to reach 240 km/h. With a shortened 2-cylinder crankshaft, higher engine speeds can be achieved (up to 10,000 rpm in a race) with maximum reliability. The 4-cylinder block of the M3 E30 also had a career in F1 back in the days of turbocharged engines in Brabham-BMWs. The Getrag 5-speed gearbox and the self-locking differential are a perfect match for this engine and the sporty chassis. A little overachiever in its class, it won the DTM championship in Germany and numerous rallies. Our M3 is of French origin and left the factory on July 2, 1987. With its Diamond Schwartz Metallic color, it is currently presented in a very nice exterior and interior condition. Equipped with BBS rims ready to put the 200 horsepower on the asphalt, our road test allowed us to see that it had not lost any of its ardor. Beware of your overconfidence on a wet roundabout! Note, our copy without a sunroof will offer more rigidity in the passages in curves at high speed, notice to the enlightened driver, do not miss this opportunity that will become increasingly rare, to offer you the mythical M3 E30.
