BMW M3 Evo II 1988 |
The E30 M3 was the first purpose built saloon produced by BMW as a racing homologation special by BMW's in-house Motorsport division. Introduced in 1986 as a road car, it dominated Touring Car racing throughout the World taking countless titles including the prestigious German, Australian and British titles, not to mention the World Touring Car Championship in 1987. To comply with DTM homologation rules, a minimum of 500 M3s had to be built and sold to the public that retained all of the aerodynamic features of the racing car.

The BMW M3 Evolution II was the closest road experience to a 'Group A' racing-car in 1988. The 'Evo II' had many differences compared to a normal specification M3. The engine itself received a slight increase in power thanks to a new camshaft, pistons and intake system. To lighten the car, the flywheel, bootlid, windows and bumpers were reduced in weight. Such modifications made the car quicker and more agile compared to the standard M3. Of the 17,000 M3s produced, only 500 Evo IIs left the factory, making this example one of the most desirable 1980s homologation specials in today's market.
