What’s special about this listing

1988 BMW E30 M3. 82k miles. Cinnabar red over black bison interior. In very nice mostly stock shape with the only modifications being lowering springs and an antigravity battery with built in jumpstarting (not that the car goes dead). Runs and drives great. Obviously a very fun car to drive. All features and options work. Paint is in good shape all around but does have the typical spots on the wing. The black interior which seems to be less common than beige is in good shape with no rips or tears but of course does have some wear just due to age. This M3 has been maintained and serviced very well and all systems are functioning as intended. Big service in 2021 including a new alternator, all new brake hoses, valve adjustment, valve cover gasket, spark plugs, ignition cables, distributor cap distributor rotor, throttle position sensor, o2 sensor, fluids, belts, all accessory bushings, and more. Recently had new AC compressor installed and the AC blows cold. A very well sorted and great driving E30 M3.
