is this a euro m3?

[Cronopoulos]

The only person implying it is a euro spec car is you. No where does the ad say it is a euro spec car. It just says it was purchased in Germany and shipped over here.
Regardless, it looks like a good car. And it is an M3. Run the vin, but I doubt it's a euro spec.

wut? The person selling the car is implying that, not me. Beautiful car none the less, whether the hands of god assembled the motor or not.

No their not, like the x3 for example is built in south Carolina

All e30's are.

[Fusion]

E30's were/are imported from various places.
They were all manufactured in Germany.

It's a US spec car as mentioned prior. US spec cars can be purchased in Europe. You people really aren't intelligent.

/thread.

[Farbin Kaiber]

Wait, e30's are from this Germany place you guys are always speaking of? Now the German beers make more sense.

It could very well be a Euro-spec car. 1988 and 1989 M3s are on the NHTSA import eligibility list, provided they are modified for DOT/EPA/FMVSS compliance by a Registered Importer (RI)/Independent Commercial Importer (ICI).

Seller is not implying it's a Euro spec car. My M3 was purchased in Japan and imported to the US, however it is US spec not J-spec.

Japanese owner was expecting to move to the US, so purchased the car and had it imported to US for his use, and shipped back to Japan upon his return.

It's obviously a Sport Evo manufactured in Taiwan.

[nebulous123]

the guy never said it was in Germany for a couple of years:

The car was originally purchased and driven in Germany, then brought back to the US

- The original owner took German delivery on the car. My car too was purchased in Germany, broken in on the Autobahn, got its first oil change at the factory, then driven all over Germany and Italy before being imported to the US. The original owner wanted to make a trip out of it.

So the CL poster didn't imply shit, you are reading into something that doesn't exist.

My car is US spec but when digging through was originally purchased and serviced in Germany then brought over here after a few years. I found a few Germain coins under the carpet even and the original dealer emblem from Germany was on the back when I got it.

And depending on what the state laws are for being imported into the US, but I know in CA you are supposed to have the cluster swapped to MPH...theres ways around it, IE doing it and then swapping back after inspection, but I wouldn't say its US or EURO spec based on the cluster.

[SmokeE30]

Clusters are not required to be swapped for federalization however the speedo must be switched to a mph unit, usually that's all people swap on the cluster that I have seen, but nothing states that us spec grills new be fitted so I'm gonna go with this was always a us spec car

[Cabriolet]

It's a Canadian or US bound car. bumpers aren't euro.

Oil temperature!!!! my god people. none of the German cars came with Fahrenheit clusters.

That cluster has been fucked with. would not buy. I have known of several people to go to Germany and take delivery of their US cars there and then ship them back here.
