We said we wouldn't buy this car...

There's one car that Imran and Bilal have always said they wouldn't add to their collection, but sometimes a perfect example crops up, and perhaps a little nostalgia hits...

[@williamcollins5696]

A real testament to the builder, what a stunning example of an M3 done properly. I'm so glad that you've both bought such a beautiful piece of history. Drive it enjoy it.

[@dopemanjace]

Awesome

[@Hcarmad]

How could you not have an E30 M3 in your collection? This is stunning and I’m sure some ppl are cringing over the red, not me, loving the colour 😎👌🏽

[@masrali4696]

Had one the same with 17" Azev A wheels, bought it for £3100 in the early 2000's (remember thinking I paid too much for it). Sold it to a chap from northern Ireland.

[@Islam_is_the_truth.4]

Only if we knew they would be worth what they're worth now:/ I had a clio v6 phase 2 paid 9k for it now they're worth 40k plus:(

[@TheRealDr.Mabuse]

I'm lost with words. Congrats! I came her heart broken after seeing the new hideous M2. This saved my day.

[@stevem2323]

Maybe it will be the real BMW driving and performance wise tho.

[@Islam_is_the_truth.4]

Just remember everyone was crying over the M3/M4 G80's grill now look everyone wants one

[@TheRealDr.Mabuse]

@@Islam_is_the_truth.4 Rest assure I'm not one of them. I still think it is damn buttugly. The biggest issue though is the weight and the TC, which is sacrilege. I'm seriously considering a GT4 as my next toy.

[@will24655]

Yeah, it's pretty bad. Not quite as bad as the M3 with the rabbit teeth grill at least.

[@bestbesto1345]

2:02 Nostalgia to hear the sounds of those old instruments is very beautiful 💯❤

[@andrefun7577]

Hi congratulations from germany. This Video makes me sad. I had many Years ago Cecotto Nr 10/505 and Sold it. Two Times a year i dream that this car is still in my Garage but if i wake up i know this was only a dream. My car looks like yours. Is this Misano Red or Hennared? I wish you a very good time with this special car. Don't sell ist and Don't put to many tuning parts on it. Regards from Berlin André

[@EvolveAutomotive]

I’m sure we all wish we could go back and not sell at least one car! Misano Red. Idea is to keep it fairly original and just bring it to shows and enjoy for people to see :)

[@JerainJezza]

I would be scared to drive it because it's so clean. :D It now makes me think that the new M2's side view with the side skirts and wide wheel arches looks a bit like the E30 M3 from front wheel to back wheel...

[@JerryFlint6]

Guys, please drive it on those ultra dry days. What an amazing find snd what a beauty! Love it,

[@dannyh6511]

I saw this coming... what a car, what an investment. A thing of beauty. Hope I see this thing on the street soon.

[@BestMotorWerks]

One more time.....Well done...what a car? and now only one e36 evo or gt missing your incredible line up from m cars... Keep going guys...you are true bmw enthusiasts...love to see you rising...

[@EvolveAutomotive]

LHD M3 GT, it might be on the list 👀

[@stefanoscarselli3562]

You must watch this video at least in HD to be able to appreciate the beauty of the work done on it! A masterpiece design that has been restored by a time machine 👌

[@DiscoverwithDiyaSA]

Absolutely amazing. Just not sure about the front fender indicator. Either shouldn’t be there or is upside down or both. Apart from that, magnificent.

[@cosmicsurfer5911]

Legendary BMW and that is a truly stunning restore. Enjoy the little beast 💯💪

[@luckysi72]

Even got the standard gear selector shaft oil leak - now i know it is truely authentic. Joking aside, stunning icon, simply stunning!!

[@Individjual]

Wow. Its ironic how you were not reallyInterested but you end up buying one which is concours! Absolutely magnificent! Blessed indeed!

[@jrw366]

Hands down this is one of the most beautiful cars ever created and that spec..I would never leave it 😱🔥🔥🔥

[@franklineno8616]

Oh wow,that is a machine of beauty,while out on the train I was looking at the new m2,it has not got the wow factor of this,congratulations Imran,she's a beauty...

[@TheDailyDriven]

Extremely well sorted out E30 M3. Congrats fellas 👍🏻👍🏻

[@mattnycm3]

It's a beauty. I think this is the car that started the obsession for many of us M fanatics.

[@Willy_murF30]

Lol I could stare at this things for an entire day, and still not comprehend how incredibly rewarding and fun it must have been restoring this and then that first start up!!?? Pure enthusiast nostalgia 😢 what a beauty!! 😮‍💨😳🤤🥰

[@nycshelbygt500]

The only thing that makes Bilal smile is good Tokyo Sushi....add a new BMW Z-8 and now a restored BMW E30 M3. You did the right thing in getting this gorgeous restored BMW E30 M3. #StillCrazyTho

[@musselicious]

Many congrats 🙂🎉 looking forward to see you both drive it and tell us how it feels 🤘🏻

[@mrmistegic]

these cars look so much better in person, which is why i know how in awe you guys are.. congrats and enjoy driving a great little machine .. love the steering wheel.. and gear shifter.. also were could i get that car cover ?? thanks in advance 😊

[@GratifyMeNow13]

Can’t wait to see it on the road! Reminds me of your first one.

[@shaheenevans]

Absolutely love it - those smiles was mirrored by me in Melbourne Oz bro ! Can’t wait to see where you take it, cars are meant to be driven should be a sticker on the car !

[@williwonkah.9242]

I had an M3 Evo 2 F126 WRE over 20 years ago. No 249/501. Sold it for peanuts. Hindsight 😭😭😭😭

[@EvolveAutomotive]

I think we’d all love a Time Machine to go back and not sell one or two 😅

[@rezaq1]

I ran one of these for about 5.5 year as almost my daily to and from Ford. Great cars, got my brother a genuine U.K. Sport Evolution as well. Probably wished we had kept that…

[@darrylweathers6764]

I wouldn’t want to drive it 😂 this is easily the cleanest E30 M3 I’ve seen in a minute, congrats 👏🏾

[@Andrew4181975]

That is without a doubt my all time favorite car, but unfortunately have not owned one ,yet. While on one hand the restoration is perfect, but not driving it is a crime. I don't think I would daily it, but I would use it properly on weekends. The inflated value that people think these are worth is just absurd nowadays which is what has kept me out of one. This thing along with an old MK2 Golf Rallye , and a Lancia Delta Integrale Evo 16V would be an EPIC garage collection!

[@rossmonkhouse6512]

Is that painted rocker cover stock?. Stunning vehicle, drop dead gorgeous.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

It is for the cecotto edition

[@pauln0371]

Congrats on landing a Johnny Cecotto version. Very rare and very expensive. Cinnabar Red suits it to the ground.👍👍😍😍

[@garysimpson8860]

Congratulations stunning car ,, and I remember going to buy a mint e30 m3 in white probably 15 years ago for 7500 quid !! But sadly he sold the car that morning to someone else 😢 the prices have can mad now everybody wants one

[@tamikomuschette4541]

Simply immaculate well kept

[@001razz]

Dream car, well done guys. Proud owners

[@waynephilbert]

Utterly stunning car. A1 condition doesn't even describe it. And as much as I'd love to drive it, I'm not sure I could.

[@SuperNovaa34]

OMG! This is a thruly masterpiece you've bought. Macha'Allah. Congrats.

[@maverick4177]

Nice, one of only 480 Johnny Cecotto tribute cars 👍🏻😎 hope it enjoys being parked next to my Old Rallye 😎👍🏻

[@mayormsuthu1465]

It's super clean and perfectly close to flawless.

[@deshdesh6631]

Excellent stuff. I wish you give us the costs involved in these types of cars.

[@basschannelsa7155]

Probably the cleanest E30 in the world

[@richardtrow2751]

Just had to watch again on my TV , I'm absolutely astounded at that beautiful M3 Wow 👌 👏

[@tom282]

That car is utterly stunning, I had one in white but was hit with a kerb stone falling off a truck on a slip road and Destroyed it. Honestly guys, what a buy!!

[@rajchoudhury5130]

That is the best looking car EVER. Proper poster. Well done

[@garrycroft4215]

You may remember we talked BMW i3s when you bought one for your good lady. All I’ve done to my one is to replace the worn out rear tyres with i8 fronts. Any how I’ve picked my replacement car for when the lease runs out… Smart #1 Brabus.. Without further ado - the power output is confirmed at 422 hp combined. The front motor has 154 hp and 200 Nm of torque while the rear motor pushes 268 hp and 343 Nm of torque. The combined figure for torque is 543 Nm. Those numbers translate to a blistering 3.7 seconds sprint from 0 to 100 kph. Those numbers make the Smart #1 Brabus faster than Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, Lamborghini Murcielago and Lamborghini Diablo. This city car that wants to be a crossover is as fast as Ferrari 360 Modena.

[@ChromeDonutGaming]

E30 m3 cecotto🙀❤️my dream spec 😱😘

[@mohanp1917]

Have always loved these, amazing restoration, amazing car 👌🏽

[@kennedymokgatle7399]

THAT CAR BELONGS IN SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦. I WILL BE WORSHIPED IN THE NAME OF THE AUTOMOBILE.. 🙏

[@fonexchange8185]

congratulations imraan its like another achievement unlocked in the classic game gran turismo ❤👌👍

[@khazer684]

Really happy for you guys, that's my dream car, that car made me a passionate for BMW's, i have a F80 that i love but the E30 will always be the one, congratulations, I'm jealous ;)

[@chetanroy5458]

Stunning, what a lovely example.

[@menfiedjian]

Imran, the sidemarkers on the front fenders are installed incorrectly. Each sidemarker is installed on the wrong side of the car. They need to be flipped sides and orientation. Take a look at sample photos from the era. This is a common error people make when replacing sidemarkers on the E30 and E36. Amazing restoration otherwise, can't wait to see more content on it.

[@jonboyy1327]

Truly stunning car. Congratulations 😌

[@TopiAS06]

NICE!, Best color for E30 M3!

[@alpinab14]

maybe just me but ive always preferred the e30 325i sport , anyone else or just me ? i know how special the e30 M3 is and it always will be but 325i sport all day every day for me anyway , still an incredible example of the e30 m3 right there , very rare find

[@ianmitchell9102]

WOW ❤ Say no more Apart from you guys are living my dream Good luck to you both, you deserve it ❤

[@jbrown7403]

Congrats! What a work of art!! Right off the showroom floor! 👍🍻

[@quanbaldwin3610]

truly happy for both of u guys..STORAGE.................................

[@seanyp6552]

Simply stunning, personally if it was mine I don’t think I could drive it, I’d still buy it in a heart beat tho! ❤

[@roykenyon886]

Nice addition to the collection guys

[@peka9117]

Its like new M2 (boxy) now i understand the new M2. Back to the roots with power.

[@amardhillon317]

Great video bro and was great catching up on the day 🎉🎉

[@nickcook7408]

And a 190 Evo and an RS2000 and a 5Gtt and you’ll have all the best 80s cars.

[@ralphpeiris5996]

You should ship that car to me here in California. No harsh winters. I will make the sacrifice 😊

[@ZX_64]

Amazing E30 if i was able to get it il get in white with those gold bbs

[@chrisp4899]

Dry weather drives only !

[@mattosborne2706]

What a lovely thing. Stunning!

[@benlewisevansstarr9537]

The best car and only bmw I would buy! 80’s 🙌🏻💯 big luv to Imran and hash missing you guys much luv boys

[@rezaq1]

I also think the restorers should have painted the whole under floor in body. I’ve never seen a BMW with a half painted floor like that; all three our our E30 M3’s and basically every other BMW I’ve ever owned has always been fully painted from the factory

[@EvolveAutomotive]

I can’t think of a single factory BMW I’ve seen that is painted completely underneath. The underside colour is just overspray from painting the lower side of the body, and there isn’t accommodation on the production line for getting underneath the car to paint it properly. Some cars will get a bit more colour underneath, others will have barely any. Saying that, full underside colour does look great, but was not the objective of the previous owners restoration.

[@rezaq1]

@@EvolveAutomotive in contrast, I cannot think of a single bmw where I haven’t seen full body colour (trust me, I’ve had a few 😜) Only on alfas have I seen a half colour underbody, and look how well they lasted!! Lovely car Imran. Mashallah

[@rezaq1]

@@EvolveAutomotive you know what Imran, my first thoughts go to my Dakar yellow M3 3.0 that was verging concours; yellow everywhere. I’ll double check at my mates garage now as you’ve got my thinking. I’m confident my Schwarz E30 M3 was Schwarz all over, same for our white one, and our gloss black sport evo. I’ll double check with my brother cos I may be going mad

[@EvolveAutomotive]

If you take a look at some of Matt’s E36 Touring project you can see how the colour bleeds underneath and towards the middle it’s just the colour of the products used.

[@itumeleng8970]

Looking forward to the wheel change video courtesy of 6sixty design 😁

[@fozpringle1]

You said you wouldn't... but im glad you did

[@DesiScotGlasga]

Lovely car which looks amazing so huge congrats but you didn't let us hear what it sounds like?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

As said we want to replace all the fluids before starting it properly, next video we will take it out for a drive and include sounds.

[@IamnotClarissaOakes]

Love it. Very exciting. Look forward to the drive video. 👍

[@andyneocleous]

Must have needed that restoration, 250k miles and a rainbow mot history 😮 Even still, many congratulations 🎉

[@EvolveAutomotive]

KMs not miles. At this point its kinda of irrelevant.

[@2turbo4u]

EAG would've love to get there hands on this one!

[@SwingzaBigOne]

Sick - all in one dream package! 🎉

[@Jbonly21]

Oh you guys are so lucky 👍 that is absolutely superb 👏 👌 😍

[@paulhunter123]

wow the block itself looks the same as the m10 block

[@sabeelshabir6103]

Ma shaa Allah beautiful. Amazing buy

[@PLZodiac]

Hi, regarding your cover shown at the beginning: can you tell which company for covers you recommend? I am also starting building my garage and I need something that will keep the dust out of the cars, especially in winter season when I don't use them. Unfortunately BMW covers for older M cars are not available.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Hi, this one came with the car. It is a good quality, nice and soft, decent thickness, and it fits really well even around the rear wing. It was made by Classic Additions. Where it lives in an active workshop we then put a clear plastic cover over that cover to stop all the dust etc sitting on to the fabric.

[@PLZodiac]

@@EvolveAutomotive OK, thanks for reply. I also cover all my cars in full PPF (as I want to own them indefinitely), but still my M5 E60 gets driven once a 1-2 months and will sit now whole winter, so I am trying to find some good solution here for a cover that will do its job and look proper aesthetically. Which is not that simple as I initially thought it might be.

[@rhodybimmers8094]

I knew it was an E30 just by the thumb nail

[@carlosbonilla1637]

No words… amazing… simply amazing. Congrats 👍

[@26Tackle.reviews]

The Best! the shape its just a icon!

[@BuddyBoud]

Stunning car, you guys lucked out, an epic restoration. Hope you enjoy. Wonder what fair market price would be for this? The resto cost? And what you guys paid? Thoughts?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Resto cost would be around £100k if you paid someone to do it

[@nine9sixdetailing420]

Mashallah, mubarak One of my all time favourites 😍

[@MotechPerformance]

Lovely ..! Enjoy it 🎉

[@sh1tstainednappy209]
