Spare parts BMW Serie 3 - E30

Launched in 1982, the new BMW 3 Series, known as the E30, is the successor to the E21. With 2 or 4 doors, saloon, estate or convertible, petrol or diesel, no fewer than 40 different versions of the model were offered. In 1989, a sporty, body-built version was added under the name M3 (M for Motorsport). Initially produced with the aim of competing with Mercedes-Benz in the German DTM championship and Group A races, it eventually (and fortunately) fell victim to its own success and was produced on a large scale (18,000 units). Its raging 4-cylinder, 16-valve 2.3 (195bhp) then 2.5 (from 215 to 238bhp) and high-performance chassis made the M3 E30 the perfect machine for winning in competition. In 12 years, more than 2,300,000 BMW E30s were sold. Apart from the M3, the most sought-after models today are convertibles and 2.5-litre coupes.
