This BMW 1988 2.5L E30 M3 in Diamantschwarz Metallic with just about 116,600 plus miles is been offered up for sale. This particular m3 came from a well love home . A 20 years plus ofownership by thepreviousowner and well taken care off . Used as a weekend fun car by him and his wif, theyseriously had amazingstories that came from owning thisamazing m3 .I soon found it incredibly hard leaving their home with theiradventure toy car . The time had come for them to say goodbye and move on . In their early 70’s i think its great for them to enjoy that beautifulFerrari they have stored away , and what a beauty it was . On the last drive he took me out for aspin anddrifted all the way back scaring me to death and stunning me with skills and mechanism of the car .He’s in his early 70’s for sure but never judge a book by its cover.
So theprevious owner did some heavy modifications to the car . Why the modification, well forstarters they tracked the car from time to time . Thisstarted as a fun and meet factor and became a way of both to enjoy somethingthey both love, driving an e30 m3 around to track, coffee and cars . So hence the modifications . The carbon fiber VIS hood for weight reduction and then the interior was removed leaving only the two front seat intact . A bolt on roll bar was fitted also for anawesomestabilazatio, which we all know what this does to the e30 m3 .
Themechanics 0f the car has received a great deal of attention , its now equipped with a 2.5 - liter S14 inline -four paired with a 5 speedmanualgearbox . Yesits a 2.5 that makes you go wowevery time . I have been an e30 m3owner since i was just about 20 years old .I’ve have the chance to own many e30 m3 and other ‘Motorsport division cars in the last 20 plusyears and well this yes this gave me a special feeling . The s14 2.3 isabsolutely great with zero modification . An earlysundaymorningdrive makes you younger at every turn. Now get inthis E30 M3 2.5 spec S14 for a drive and my- god tim, age and that amazing feeling become becomes priceless all due respect to the 2.3 for sure . If you never driven an s14 2.5 this might be one of your last chance at adecent price . A built as simple as this could set you back $15-20k easy these days ...can't wait for the comments .
The power of a stroked 2.5 s14 is just a way different feeling .Thisparticular car isequippedwith a Turner motorsport a 2.5 liter forged 11.25: 1compression 95mm kit with all new connecting ro, oil pan gaske, 2.5 crankshaft seal,lowergasket se, 2.5 head gasket and 2.5 crankshaft spacer . all done around the same time .A tuner motorsportperformance chip ( dinan) was also added .
