Vehicle Overview

Highlights

1991 BMW M3, finished in Alpine White with a black interior. This M3 is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission.

The attached Carfax vehicle history report begins largely in 1997, though it shows no accidents or mileage discrepancies and indicates registration in Oregon and Arizona during the given time period.

According to the window sticker provided in the gallery, notable factory equipment included 15-inch wheels, a limited-slip differential, leather upholstery, front sport seats, air conditioning, and more as detailed below.

Celebrated as one of the best and most influential BMW M models of all time, the first-generation E30 M3 entered production in 1986, though it didn't reach American shores until the 1988 model year. It was initially released to satisfy touring car homologation requirements, so it received a long list of race-derived parts, including a naturally-aspirated 2.3-liter engine, a revised suspension system, and a specific body kit. It also weighed less than the standard E30 3 Series. Production ended after the 1991 model year, and most historians agree that about 5,300 units of the original M3 were built for the U.S. market.

Power comes from an S14 2.3-liter 4-cylinder engine, rated at 192 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque in stock form for the U.S. market. Due to the performance chip installed on this M3, it may produce more power, but a dyno sheet was not provided to confirm. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission.
