Some have withstood the test of time better than others, and this 1990 example must be one of the cleanest out there. It\u2019s been with its owner from day one, and judging by the vehicle\u2019s condition, it\u2019s been in good hands all these years.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s still a 32-year-old car, so every now and then, it\u2019s in the shop to spruce up the body to preserve the OEM look. The time came for this M3 E30 to drop by Galpin Auto Sports in California for a little bit of work. The sports sedan was in need of paint correction and some body repairs, but nothing serious.<\/p>\n<h3>This M3 E30 Is A Blast From The Past<\/h3>\n<p>After working on the car, the folks at Galpin Auto Sports decided to shoot the M3 E30 in all of its 1980s boxy glory. Black with a tan interior, the touring car racing homologation model made just under 200 horsepower back in the day. It packed quite the punch for only a four-cylinder engine without a turbocharger. We\u2019d be curious to know how many of those ponies are still available under the front-hinged hood.<\/p>\n<p>As with all M3s from the E30 era, this pristine example sends the S14\u2019s power via a five-speed manual gearbox. It\u2019s worth noting the engine\u2019s output was not the same all over the world as it depended on whether the four-pot had a catalytic convertor. Those that had one lost a few ponies, but nothing significant. \u00a0The most powerful M3 E30 was the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2021\/10\/15\/1990-e30-bmw-m3-sport-evolution-auction\/\">Sport Evolution<\/a> with 238 hp while the race car had 360 hp.<\/p>\n<p>Time will tell whether the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/04\/04\/2022-bmw-m3-retro-badge\/\">G20<\/a> will age as gracefully as the E30, but honestly, we can\u2019t see it happening.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=n3YHr_6Kh_0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Galpin Auto Sports \/ YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"CLEANEST CLASSIC M3 EVER? - Everything you need to know!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/n3YHr_6Kh_0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[embedded content] ADVERTISEMENT The original M3 is a car that needs no introduction since it\u2019s universally appraised, not just by BMW fans.
