Details

This 1988 M3 E30 was owned by the late actor Paul Walker. The E30 M3 was developed for racing in the DTM series. Due to regulations, the M3 had to be homologated and road-going versions had to be produced. All the bodywork, sans the hood, is unusually seen to the M3 over the standard E30. The M3 features flared fenders and quarter-panels, as well as bespoke front and rear bumpers. Power is supplied by an S14 2.3-liter inline-4 engine that produces a factory-rated 195hp and 170 ft/lbs of torque. It is backed by a 5-speed manual Getrag transmission sending power to the rear wheels with the aid of limited-slip differential. The standard E30's MacPherson Strut/semi-trailing arm suspension has had substantial changes in its evolution to the motorsport-bred M3, including a larger rear antiroll bar, wider track and revalved shocks. This M3 is painted in Alpine White II over a Nature Bison interior. This is one of only 5,115 M3s sold in the United States from 1988-91 and features 32,411 actual miles.
