28-Years-Owned 1988 BMW M3 Project

The vehicle in focus is a well-preserved 1988 BMW M3 coupe, originally designed as a sports sedan and now a timeless classic. This 1st generation (E30) M3, one of approximately 5,300 North American models produced between '87-'90, showcases its distinctive Diamond Black Metallic exterior paired with classic Black Bison leather interior. Still driven regularly as a running project car, it's powered by the original high-revving 2.3-liter S14 inline-four engine coupled to a responsive five-speed manual transmission and limited-slip differential, delivering an engaging driving experience true to its sporty heritage. Despite being almost three decades old, this rare M3 retains remarkable features such as a gross vehicle weight rating of under 6000 lbs, emphasizing its status as a Class 1 passenger car with exceptional performance capabilities even by today's standards. Its 2-door coupe configuration and 143 horsepower (104 kW) at just 6750 rpm are testament to the iconic driving dynamics that the E30 M3 has long been celebrated for.
