This 1987 BMW M3 represents the genesis of the legend. Beneath its subtly flared bodywork lies BMW Motorsports purpose-built 2.3-litre S14 inline-four DOHC - 5-Speed Manual - 147kW Output - RWD - the cabin reflects BMWs disciplined approach to performance luxury, offering supportive sport seating, a driver-centric layout, and timeless materials that speak to craftsmanship over excess.

Limited production, documented racing provenance across the model line, and sustained global demand have driven consistent long-term appreciation.
