The story of this E30 M3 began way back in the 80s. We don't know much of its early life, but after one lucky forum user got his hands on this Alpine White Bimmer, its life completely changed.

It was bought back in 2012 for $15,000 (€11,550) and had 135,000 miles (216,000 km) on the clock at the time it was purchased. It was bone stock and everything was in working order.

After a couple of months of hard work, the car was completely transformed. The work started with a set of 17" OZ Futuras wheels, of course. After that came the Recaro N'Joy seats with custom brackets, OEM Hella Smoked Euro Smileys, Euro bits and a DTM Adjustable wing.

Further along the way, the taillights were replaced with a set of smoked Startec Tail Lights, a new dashboard and G/C Coilovers. Later on, the DTM Wing seemed insufficient so a '92 DTM Flap was installed.

Unfortunately, after a while, the car's ECU unit conceded its age and gave in. The guys from European Auto Source were asked to repair it and, after a couple of days, the M3 was back on the streets.

This is just another true story of how passion and hard work can bring out the beautiful character of an old car and restore its glory.
