T-5R don't hit the market very often. When they emerge they tend to be garage queens or clapped-out daily drivers.

highlights

The iconic E30 was the first M3 in a lineage that would span more than 30 years. Based on the standard E30 coupe version, the M was extensively re-worked. The C-pillars were different and the trunk was shorter. The front and rear fenders were enlarged in order to accommodate the new suspension and wider track. This car was meticulously assembled by the previous owner in Sweden to resemble the factory evolution cars, with aerodynamic elements such as an extension for the front apron and aggressive rear wing.

heritage

 

In order to be able to start in the touring championship series, a car should have been produced in at least 5000 units per year and the race model should have numerous parts in common with the production model. Those were the regulations and BMW struggled to find a way to get to the start. So, it built a race-car and then it made it suitable for the road and started to sell it. It was a blast, despite the fears of the sales department. 

The E30 M3 went on to find success in European rally racing, notching a win in the 1987 WRC Tour de Corse at the hands of French rally driver Bernard Beguin.

The BMW M3 E30 was the first M3 and the most successful touring car ever, with more than 1500 victories in its class. The series model became a motorsports icon since its start, in 1986.
