1990 BMW M3 E30 Convertible – The Icon, Uncovered

The BMW M3 E30 Convertible is one of the rarest and most desirable variants of BMW’s legendary first-generation M3, produced between 1988 and 1991 with just 786 examples built worldwide.
Powered by the S14 2.3-litre four-cylinder engine producing 158 kW (215 hp), paired to a Getrag 5-speed manual gearbox and limited-slip differential, the car delivers pure, analog performance with open-air excitement.
Finished in Diamantschwarz Metallic with black extended Nappa leather, this example blends timeless design with true M Power performance. Factory features include heated seats, electromechanical soft top, and headlight aim control, along with a Heisenmann hard top supplied as an additional extra.
Engineers reinforced the chassis to preserve rigidity without a fixed roof, adding only modest weight while retaining the sharp dynamics that made the E30 M3 a Group A touring car icon. Capable of 0–100 km/h in just over 7 seconds, the M3 Cabriolet combined motorsport DNA with refined open-top driving pleasure.

A very rare sight in South Africa, this M3 represents motorsport heritage, open-air freedom, and enduring collectability in one beautifully engineered package.
