The Original: A Legend Among Sports Cars
The BMW M3 (E30), produced from 1985 to 1992, is a legendary ride in Bavarian automotive history and belongs to the E30 generation. Originally designed as a high-performance race car, it was later adapted for the streets and now enjoys a cult status. The M3 was based on the popular 3 Series predecessor, which combined solid everyday vehicles with a sporty touch. The designer was Paul Rosche, who, alongside his engineers—especially Burkhard Göschel—was crucial in its development. The E30 M3 stood out with its aerodynamic body design, flashy rear wing, and wider fenders. These design features were essential for optimizing the car for motorsports. Just to give you some context, 1985 was also the year of the famous "Live Aid" concert and the premiere of the classic film "Back to the Future."
Technical Masterpieces of the M3 E30
The BMW M3 of this generation was powered by a robust 2.3-liter S14 four-cylinder engine, which originated from BMW's high-profile motorsport program. It cranked out an impressive 200 horsepower in the street version and could easily reach higher speeds, all thanks to the precise five-speed manual transmission. The suspension setup included MacPherson struts in the front and a unique multi-link system in the back, which delivered an exceptional grip on the road. The serialized limited editions and special versions, like the Sport Evolution or Cecotto Edition, made the E30 M3 a super sought-after collector's item. Its sporty yet manageable driving characteristics and remarkable aerodynamics made this car a favorite in motorsports.
