Technical details and design of the BMW M3 (E30)

The BMW M3 (E30) sets itself apart from the standard 3 Series with a variety of technical features. It is equipped with a 2.3-liter four-cylinder S14 engine that produces 192 horsepower in the road-legal version and up to 300 horsepower in the racing version.
