What better time than M's 50th anniversary to buy its biggest icon? PistonHeads BMW E30M3 BuyingGuide
Note for reference: car weight and power data are hard to pin down with absolute certainty. For consistency, we use the same source for all our guides. We hope the data we use is right more often than it's wrong. Our advice is to treat it as relative rather than definitive.Few would apply the adjective 'sonorous' to the M3's Bosch Motronic-injected S14 engine.
The action of the initially alien dogleg gearbox quickly became natural and kind of made you wonder why all shift patterns weren't like that. A heavy clutch pedal meant wear, and that would create knock-on wear to the release bearing, which wasn't what you wanted if you were M3-ing on a budget. A noisy or baulky transmission meant a gearbox rebuild, again not cheap.
Rumour has it that BMW did look at creating a factory RHD car, but it turned out that not hitting the steering column with the new manifold and exhaust and getting the gas flow right was an either/or option, so that project was abandoned. Steering pumps occasionally die and excessive noise from the steering is probably telling you that you need a new drive belt.
Some cars had shorting issues with the main front winkers. Early M3s didn't have wing-mounted indicator repeaters. Sport Evolutions had brake cooling ducts where the foglights had been. Ravaglia and Cecotto editions came in Nogaro Silver, Misano Red or Macao Blue with full or half-leather interiors.
