Overview

Built for track duty, this E30 M3 benefits from a more powerful S50 inline-6 motor out of an E36 M3. The engine has seen around 10k miles since a full rebuild, and it is mated to a manual transmission and limited-slip differential which were also swapped from an E36 M3. Ground Control coilovers offer more predictable handling, and a welded roll cage has been fitted for safety. While it may not win a concours d’elegance, this example was built to be driven on the track where it belongs and we would love to give it a go.
