You are incredibly lucky to drive and review these E30 M3’s! These are no doubt becoming collectors and sellers aren’t hesitating to ask big numbers for them. Great review, and the camera work was fantastic!

Yes an iconic car indeed. The E30 also did very well on the ATCC giving the 5L falcons and commodores of the day a hard time. Taking over from where the JPS 635CSI (E24) left off.

Nice to see Burswood and Perth on the other side of the Swan.

Just as you said “dog leg shifter” a dog walks past. Clever, I know it was deliberate 😎

Cool car, looks awesome. Nice review

[sats]

Nice info and video but I own one of these and the history is...

BMW couldn't sell any at first. Dealers couldn't give them away due to the price. But BMW had to produce 5000 and didn't matter if they were sold or not. That is what happened.

That white car is for sale on Gumtree in Australia, very expensive indeed. Needs the interior put back in it

That was awesome mate. True drivers car.

It was to beat Ford not Mercedes because cossies were dominating touring car racing.
