1989 BMW M3 '2.5L'

Listed for $65,000Sold
1989 BMW M3 '2.5L'

Overview

Wearing a generous list of worthy upgrades, this E30 M3 sports a bored-out 2.5L motor with forged pistons and a fully ported head. It is riding on rare forged M1 tribute wheels, and it sits lower thanks to a full Ground Control suspension. An aftermarket exhaust has been fitted for a more exciting soundtrack, and it has been wrapped in 3M Burnt Orange to help set it apart from the rest. This looks like a fun build and we hope the next owner gives it plenty of fresh air and exercise.
