never wrecked, ellipsoids were removed for sport.

Very nice bone stock minty M3, just wish isn't owned by an idiot dealer who thinks an "Inline Style Engine" was an option.

Cripes, $17k and it has a week remaining. Probably well worth it though.

Interesting... You might be right about that. Surprising that there could be an exception for Henna cars.

M3's went back and forth with elipsoids and sealed beams

my Lachsilber M3 was made in march of 87 and had sealed beams. I think all hennas are 88 production cars, which i think all came with sealed beams.

M3's went to elips in 89 or 90, then back to sealed beams again i think... i could totally be wrong though!

that car looks nice!

My sept 87 M3 has ellips...

not to nerd out, but this is from the m registry faq:

Cars produced before September of 1987 were actually built to 1987 specification (despite being officially considered "1988" models). True 1988 production began in September of 1987, when ellispoid headlights were introduced, Henna Red (052) was replaced by Cinnabar Red (138)

My 88 Zinno has a 9/87 production date, and is equipped with the ellips, and the pop out rear windows.
