E30 M3
This is the first generation M3, shown in public for the first time at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1985. Production started in September 1986 and ceased in July 1991.
The E30 M3 was constructed by BMW for a predominate purpose - to homologate a race car suitable for the European Touring Car Championship (ETCC). To accomplish this, BMW was required to construct 5,000 street-bound examples. The E30 3-series was the best suited automobile in BMW's product line to undergo this transformation.
Certain rules in the racing series heavily influenced characteristics of the production M3. For example, the shape of the body of an ETCC entry could not be altered from the homologated version. The deep front spoiler, rear windscreen "cap", rear trunk lid and spoiler were incorporated for high speed aerodynamic performance. The wide fender flares allowed large race tires and wheels to fit under stock bodywork.
Of the 21,222 E30 M3s produced, well over 100 were built solely for road race and rally use. 4,996 examples were imported to the United States, the vast majority of that number sold in 1988.
