Anyone know the original retail price of an e30 m3?

[ButtJuice]

Couldn't find the answer..

[Evan12]

kelly blue book was $34950. thats blue book not dealer pricing, keep that in mind

[Joe G]

iirc it was around one million dollars.

[briansjacobs]

it was about $35,000 in 1991, which is why it was such a surprise when the E36 M3 came out about the same price 4 years later in US trim, it was much more in euro trim

[Lance Racing]

And about $28k for a 1988 325is at the time.

Thanks for this. It answers several questions I've had!

Why on earth would a 92 325 vert cost almost $1,000 more then a M3

[Kovs]

Straight from the BMW NA Press Kit for 1988:

M3 Base Price - $34,800
Metallic Paint - $375
Destination & handling - $325
Dealer Prep - $180

All in $35,680

It was more popular, not a lot of people wanted a high strung, low optioned, stiff riding, four cylinder car.

[downforce22]

iirc the iX cost almost as much as the m3

My convertible cost more than a m3 new.
But I have a real m-technic car

My sticker from 91 shows 31k for a 325i coupe

[reelizmpro]

In the late 80's and early 90's, verts were quite popular. Perhaps the 92 was more expensive due to the automatic top? It was quite a luxury back then.

IIRC, my 89 M3 retailed at 35,xxx while my 88 vert retailed at just under it. maybe $500 difference.
