BMW E30 M3 - Total Disgrace

I regret selling this original, clean e30 BMW M3. I took this video just before selling the car and after years of resto and maintain. These are BMW Radial 32 wheels from a BMW E39 540i. The suspension was updated and car was lowered about 25mm. Strut bar is by John Mason of Mason Engineering. Engine was the original US spec 2.3L 4 Cylinder with 215Hp. I graphed in 100cpsi metal catalysts with 2.50 muffler, updated to the EVO cam gear and reprogrammed the ECU. The car ran very strong with good tone. The original and still the best.

@mezzy117 Thanks..not a total loss because the proceeds go to other styles including e36 M3 daily driver..also a great car. :)

Great cars, I can relate to your regrets. I owned 3 different E30 and the analog driving experience is just wonderful. Yet, it's such a shame, the mechanics and upholstery of these M3 seats tend to wear out pretty badly. I look at your leather and see the one in my last E30...

In fact, the overall quality of the E30 Interior was bit on the shitty side.

A friend of mine owned a B3 Alpina in fantastic shape.... and was hit and pushed into the guardrails on the Autobahn... wreck.

@getdealtwithquick +1 driving experience is truly awesome. Interior and materials were very durable in my opinion but agreed, seam placement and bead on the seat's curvy bolsters needs improved design...only suggestion with an otherwise killer RECARO seat. REAL LEATHER for these $35K cars new!

Sorry to hear of this tragedy of your friend and the Alpina B3! Hope there was salvage.

@swansmeister My friend Matt Porter of SUNVALLEYWHEELS com refinished these in the matching Motorsport "gunmetal" I was after. Great Job MATT!!

@BMWGirlyGirl Please stop the spam. I posted this for no monetary gain. Besides, cone filters for Bosch air metered cars do virtually nothing for performance. They result in ingesting both hot air and larger micron particulates which increases wear.

i hate u 4 posting this , sexy ride

[Quanni90]

is this the car vlad screwed up for 6k?

[BMWGirlyGirl]

I love my 325i. Only mod is a Signature Motoring performance intake kit. They run around $150 and add around 9hp in the six-cylinder E30s and a bit less in the 318. That's the best value per HP gain... A good value for the extra oomph. General HP increases are shown:

E30 series: 6.0-13.4hp gain

E36 series: 5.5-12hp gain

E46 series: 6.0-13.9hp gain

E92 series: 8.5+ hp gain

Z3/Z4 (all): 5.5-13.9hp gain

See my channel videos for action!
