    88 E30 M3 Pics

    History: The original owner took delivery in July of ' 87 (production date: April 1987) at the former port in Brunswick, GA (it had 235 miles on it once he returned home). The car has currently has 37,XXX miles. It is Alpine White with Cardinal Red interior. The car is in just about as new condition. The car is stock with the following exceptions. Evo II flywheel, exhaust cam gear, non-cat exhaust with Borla stainless rear section, suspension upgrade, lower springs, bilstiens, larger sway bars, and 16" E28 M5 wheels (I added), and M Technik II steering wheel (I added). All of the original parts were included in the sale and are in as new condition. The car has never been tracked, never had any paint work of any kind, all VIN stickers. Always garage kept, rarely driven in the rain (owner got caught in an occasional storm). All service records from 07/87 - 04/03. The paint is as glossy as one that rolled of the showroom floor back in the day. The car was also on display in the Zentrum Museum at BMW Manufacturing in Greer, South Carolina for a year and a half. I have pictures of it in the Zentrum. The M Stripes on the front fenders and spoiler were added after the 1st owner attended the BMW Skip Barber Advanced Driving School. Their cars had the same M tape (which he got from them) but were all the way to the top of the fenders. The tape had been on the car since it was new, but since taking delivery I have removed the tape from the fenders.

      I believe the P.O. of that car was the President of the Sandlapper Chapter.

          Yeah this is Tripp's old machine, from what I hear (atleast from him) it's a ridiculously clean machine.

            You are correct.

            BTW, from what I have found it has had some autocross time. The question is, how much?

                Nice clean car. The owner should enjoy it! BTW, how come some cars with cardinal interior had cardinal carpet and some didn't? Were they allowed to choose?

                          We were out driving it yesterday. I'm planning to have it at the Weekend Academy Euro Car Show on the 24th.

                            I believe that it was optional to get either all cardinal red interior which included carpet, door panels, seats, armrests, and rear deck, or you could get black and red. Mine is black and red. Red seats and door panels, but black carpet and black armrests. When red seats are in that good condition, they are awesome.

                              Awesome! Did you email Chris to let him know you are coming? We are supposed to be bringing some cars from Grayson as well. It should be a good turnout.
