EXTERIOR

The proportions of the E30 M3 are just right and with this example there have been some considered additions; optimising the aesthetic in keeping with later model variants and the cars homologation blood line.

This stunning M3 is a true survivor in it’s original factory coat of Lachs Silver and the car presents in wonderful order all around. The underside is very clean and free of corrosion associated with these models.

The car has an original Evolution 2 front spoiler and under tray installed whilst the rear of the car has a genuine Sport Evolution adjustable rear wing currently set at the ‘Nurburgring’ position. Both the front spoiler and rear wing have 2 layer Carbon pieces that offset the paintwork nicely.

INTERIOR

Stepping over the M3 sill strips into the low slung seat is a drivers treat with all the controls clean, clear and easy to access. The steering wheel links to one of the most communicative and exciting steering racks and chassis available and it is no wonder the E30 M3 has such a loyal following and rich race history.

The heated Recaro houndstooth cloth remains soft and supple and maintains proper original integrity, with no cracking or fraying of the stitching, whilst operation of the seat movement is clean and smooth. The rear bench and headrests are as new, with speakers and a rear blind over the parcel shelf. The A pillar covers and dash are excellent and fit as they should – not normally the case with a lot of E30’s. The door cards, sills and gearbox tunnel free from wear or marks.

Other than the fabulous period Schnitzer wheel (the original wheel is included) the Radio head unit is the only deviation from factory spec.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION

The engine bay is spotless and has recently been subject to a huge amount of attention and care leaving it in fantastic condition.

This S14 is markedly different to the 195hp unit it left the factory with. The build was set out to achieve reliable power without sacrificing driveability and the result is really quite something – excellent torque with the now 2.5 litre providing around 250hp. Esteemed specialists Bexley Motor Works were responsible for the engine work.

The gearbox is tight and precise, with clutch and drivetrain really intuitive everything falls easy to hand to compliment the excellent driving position.

A description of the engine would not be complete without mentioning the carbon airbox; just a sensational noise and a step back in time to where the car made it’s name in the DTM touring car championships.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES

The classic cross spoke wheels were purchased new at great expense just 2 years ago; original 16 inch BBS wrapped in Yokohama rubber.

The braking system is in good health with plenty of life showing on pads and discs. You will also notice brake ducts to aid cooling, used on the EVO 2/3 models, in place of the original fog lights.

Thanks to uprated KW Coilover suspension, dynamics are enhanced without compromising refinement; String Theory Garage were entrusted with geo and alignment – working wonders to ensure the car is as capable and compliant as possible.
