Finished in Alpine White II over Black leather upholstery, this 1991 BMW E30 M3 features a custom-built 2.7-liter S14 stroker engine with CP pistons, Schrick cams, E36 coil packs, headers, a custom exhaust, a carbon fiber airbox, an electric fan conversion, and a standalone ECU. It has also been modified with Evo-style exterior pieces, BBS wheels, Ground Control coilovers, Suspension Technique sway bars, a custom steering wheel, and more. This tastefully upgraded M3 is now being offered for auction by its seller out of California.
Developed as a DTOM homologation car based on the standard E303-Series, the original M3 is characterized by its M3-specific bumpers, side skirts, spoilers, and boxed fender flares. This example was reportedly refinished in its original color of Alpine White while under the original owner’s care. It has been modified with a Sport Evolution front splitter, hood seals, and an Evo-style carbon fiber rear wing. The car rides on a set of 16”x8” BBS RS061 rims by Wheel Dynamics, dressed in Toyo Proxes R1R 225/45 tires.
The cabin features Black leather sport seats with a matching dashboard, door panels, headliner, and contrasting grey carpets. Accessories include a custom three-spoke M-Tech steering wheel, a power sunroof, power windows, air conditioning, an original BMW Bavaria AM/FM cassette stereo, and custom coco floor mats. The seller notes upgraded speakers have been installed and a set of grey carpet floor mats is included along with an aftermarket Kenwood Bluetooth head unit.
Power comes from a custom-built 2.7-liter S14 inline-four stroker engine featuring CP pistons, SuperTech valves, Schrick 284/276 cams, an E36 coil pack ignition, an electric fan conversion, AKG drivetrain mounts, a carbon fiber airbox, 50mm headers, and a custom 2.5” exhaust with a SuperSprint muffler. The rear wheels are driven through a 5-speed manual transmission with a limited-slip differential and a Rogue Engineering short shifter. The suspension has been upgraded with Ground Control coilovers, Suspension Technique 22mm/19mm sway bars, and a Garagistic front sway bar. The car also features a custom wiring harness, a standalone ECU, and a new starter, alternator, and A/C compressor.
This sale will include service records, owner’s manuals, a toolkit, some original parts, and a clean title.

@Mangler_T yes its all the way at the end of the gallery please refresh your page
Did a new one get uploaded? The one in the gallery is MPH across the bottom?
@Mangler_T x axis is RPM and Y axis is hp/tq
@heritagegruppe the x axis is MPH?
@Mangler_T
Strom Motorsports was able to provide the following explanation regarding the dyno chart that I just uploaded:
Unfortunately the dyno was having issues picking up RPM correctly when I was running the car. So the best I can do is this which shows half the RPM on the x-axis. Its still accurate you just need to double the RPM to get a correct reading and half the torque.
So for example at 3k RPM shown on the sheet its actually 6K rpm and torque is 197lb ft instead of 395.
The horsepower curve is still normal.

In the last day and half here! Let me know if you have any other questions ill upload some outdoor photos of the car as well
@Bigbar365 Definitely worth every penny! And that's a great video

Here is the link to the video, 4k is still processing and also uploading to Pcar to be added to the gallery

I’m pretty sure you can get another $10k bunp in the bidding with a good driving video with the microphone placed near the carbon air box. Lol!
Those things sound insane
Patrick Snijers epic rally video here, still one of my favs of all time https://youtu.be/u0T4t1SmUIc?feature=shared
Just spoke with the previous owner and he advised that he also used to have a 88 M3 and the shop that did the work on this white one just input it into their system as his old black on since they had it on file.
Bid in the amount of $65,000
@MIA69 checking with the owner on that but most likely a mistake on the shops end. The engine work was done under the previous owners care and we are good friends with him so it shouldn’t be a problem clearing that up
Bid in the amount of $60,500
Why is there an "Estimate for Service" (so not even a paid receipt) for a different car? Pic 201.

What EMS is it running? What are the power numbers? Who built the engine and did the tuning? Got a dyno plot?
Absolute beauty!
@spencerberke thanks Spencer! Coming from an avid M3 enthusiast like you it means a lot
Hi everyone! My name is G and we’re proud to offer this immaculate BMW M3 on behalf of the owner.
This M3 drives and feels like a pure bred DTM race car with the comfort of an OEM M3. We’ll be doing our video review and uploading it here in the next few days, in the meantime if you have any questions please feel free to ask!
As for smog, the car will be smogged by the owner before the sale so the next owner would not need to worry about it!
Happy Bidding!
Car passed smog in CA with current setup? I thanks
Wow, now that's an E30. Love that engine setup plus these photos are fantastic. Best of luck to the seller!
