GarageScout Take

Salmon Silver over Black, with a bottom-end rebuild and roughly $25,000 in refurbishment under current ownership, gives this high-mile E30 M3 a documented mechanical reset. Mileage sits above the middle for the generation, and the colour is uncommon among observed examples. The 2022 left-front accident and older tires remain part of the record.

Strengths

  • 1988 E30 M3, an early homologation-based BMW Motorsport model from the first E30 M3 generation.
  • Salmon Silver Metallic over Black leather, with the factory power sunroof, fog lights, and 15-inch basketweave wheels.
  • Bottom-end engine rebuild and replacement of the exhaust, alternator, engine mounts, pumps, brakes, and suspension components under current ownership.
  • Service documentation is attributed to one servicing provider and accompanies the car.

Watch For

  • CARFAX reports a 2022 accident affecting the left front end; the seller says it was a minor dent repaired with paintless dent removal.
  • The tires are older, despite having more than 50% tread remaining.
