Product Details

1988 BMW M3, finished in Alpine White with a Cardinal Red interior. Factory equipment includes 15-inch BBS wheels, a sunroof, leather upholstery, power-operated front windows, and air conditioning.

More details about the aftermarket parts installed on this car are provided below, and the removed intake and exhaust system parts are included in the sale.Celebrated as one of the best and most influential BMW M models of all time, the first-generation M3 entered production in 1986, though it didn't reach American shores until the 1988 model year. It was initially released to satisfy touring car homologation requirements so it received a long list of parts derived from racing, including a naturally-aspirated 2.3-liter engine, a revised suspension system, and a specific body kit. It also weighed less than the standard "E30" 3 Series. Production ended after the 1991 model year, and most historians agree about 5,300 units of the original M3 were built for America.Power comes from a 2.3-liter 4-cylinder engine, rated at 192 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque when left stock. The modifications might increase those figures but a dyno sheet is not available. Called "S14" internally, the engine spins the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission.
