Really happy for the owner. To me owning an M3 is a blessing. To own a restored M3 Evo is unbelievable. I have always wanted an e30 but unfortunately I'm 60 and cannot afford one with to daughters in college. It's very nice seeing other fans of the e30 enjoy theirs rebuilt, restored or in progress. You used to be able to buy one for $1500. Just within the past ten years they have gone up to $8000-$12,000 hear in the states. So they are completely out of reach. When I see one on the street I still act like a kid who spotted Santa Claus.

The last M3 I loved was the E92 with that beautiful high revving N/A V8. It's only got worse from there with the fake engine noise, the Turbo Straight 6 and now the hideous grille they've put on the 2020 ones.

[@whathaff]

Only if you could find one. With all the money in the world, if you could not find one it doesn't matter.

[@thetruthisoutthere415]

What a lucky man. I nearly bought one of these in 1993 in the same colour . It was an M3 in lhd ( as were the norm) and the engine was sprayed gold, it looked fantastic. The BMW dealership was Canterbury, Kent in England and was priced at £14,999 on a F plate but like a fool i bought a TVR 400SE. The TVR dealership was called WLA based in Larkfield , Maidstone in Kent. The car was the same price as the BMW and was a beast to drive. The reg number was G649 BBY but looking back now i wished i bought the M3, not because the price of these has risen but the reliability and engineering was so good on these cars. Never mind i still had fun in the TVR (when it worked).

[@SchmiedmannBMWspecialist]

What a great story! And a TVR Wedge isn't the worst choice you could have made ;) Love the sound of those! Bet it was fun too :)

[@mogsyman]

This video takes me back 30 years and confirms I’m still in love with the E30 M3 Evo. I’m fortunate enough to drive an F90 M5 having also had a succession of M cars over the years. As great as my car is (and it’s bloody brilliant!) there’s a saying....... ‘They don’t make them like they used to’. In this case that phrase is spot on. Well done, what a fantastic machine and a work of art 👍

[@murdocniccals3092]

Let me start of by saying thank you for sharing this journey with us. It's hard not to like BMW's especially the one that was restored to avant-garde perfection. Only real car guys get this, and I am from South Africa and it's a deep sadness to see guys using these E30's as spinners and drift cars. Pure abuse, no respect for the engineering wonders that was ahead of its time and I believe this is still ahead of its time. To the guys in the workshop you are like Dr's and surgeons working your wonder magic and to the owner you are a true gentleman and your passion is moving. I will always, always love the E30 BMW.......

Hi! I would like to tell you the complete story, but the owner have settled in court with the storage facility, so there are parts of the story that I can't tell. But the story is, that the car was stored in Cyprus at a professional storage facility. Many years later the company was bought by another one, was broken into and almost all parts were stolen, and then the company left it out it in the sun afterwards. The owner (Who lives in the UK) did not get notified until years later, when he came back to Cyprus to see the car himself.
