The BMW M3 has started a legacy that has yet to end over the past 30 years. When the E30 M3 was launched in 1985 it was done so to keep BMW current and competitive with Mercedes-Benz who had just released the 190E 2.3-16 Cosworth. As it made its way on the track in Touring Car Championships around the globe, it soon became a real contender and the benchmark for BMW Performance. The M3 has won at world-renowned races such as the 24 Hours of Nurburgring, World Touring Car Championship Driver’s Title in 1987, and countless wins across the globe on both tarmac circuits and rally settings.

By 1988 BMW finally started delivering “U.S. spec” examples of the M3 to North America, both factory and privateer teams immediately put them to work on the track. A small enthusiast’s base was quickly growing for the new M Car, and would ultimately prove to be a love affair with the brand and the basis for BMW to keep making more units and further improving their technology.

This 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine is an elegant work of machinery. It is meshed with a manual transmission, and is also equipped with power steering and brakes. This vehicle also has power windows, air conditioning, radio and a sunroof. This stunning M3 is reportedly one of only 30 total M3s that were made in October 1995. Of those, the M Owners' Registry shows only 13 had two doors and only one with five-speed manual transmission the owner reports. The interior is unique to the cars made that month and the interior on this example is in very fine condition. Research shows that this was the last year of the non-governed speed limiters, and only 500 were made in 1995.

This BMW is painted in Blue and contrasted very well with a white interior, both of which are in excellent condition. The engine compartment and floors are toothbrush clean, a clear indication of its pampered ownership. Included with the car is an assortment of documentation.
