Message from the seller

Introducing the iconic 1988 BMW M3 - a true collector's dream car. This stunning vehicle is a perfect blend of style and performance, making it a must-have for any car enthusiast.

**THE ONE E30 TO HAVE!

**Legendary E30 M3 done right!

**Where do we even start with this $150k + build! Many choose to go turbo for big power but I think 450hp is plenty in such light car but more importantly going with supercharged S50 inline 6 (e36 M3 engine) the natural BMW feel and responsiveness is retained and car is as consistent as stock!
