"What distinguishes an E30 M3 Europameister edition?
BMW celebrated the dominance of its E30 M3 in the 1988 Touring Car season with a limited run of 148 "Europameister" edition road cars built from October through December of that year. Based on the regular production M3 with the 195-hp catalyst-equipped S14 engine, each was painted Macao Blue metallic (250) and most were equipped with a Silver extended Nappa leather interior with hide covering the center console and special diagonally-pleated door panels, plus M-stripe lapels on all four seats. A complete Silver Nappa leather interior (including the entire dashboard, glovebox door and steering wheel) was offered as a rare (and expensive) option. In addition, the Europameister interior included door sill plates with the "M3" insignia and an "M" foot rest for the driver. A special plaque on the center console read "Europameister 1988 auf BMW M3" and was signed by driver Roberto Ravaglia. Most examples of the Europeameister were heavily optioned, though additional standard equipment over the normal M3 included only the 7.5x16-inch alloy wheels, green-tinted windshield stripe and power windows."

This Europameister was purchased from a private collector who has had it since 1999 and drove it just enough to keep it from drying out: There is an inspection certificate from 2001 that shows the car with 27,497 KM. It sat in a garage, under a car cover.

The Exterior has been repainted in it's original Macau Blue, and is nearly flawless. No dings, dents, scratches or rock chips. It was hit on the passenger rear quarter panel and expertly repaired using the original panel. I have included a photo of the inside of the quarter panel from the trunk.

The grey FULL leather interior is original and supple. The leather is almost flawless, feels soft to the touch and gives the car a much higher quality feel than a normal M3. It is like the interior of a US E28 M5, in grey. The headliner, carpeting, dash etc.. are fantastic.

The car features the french yellow headlights which look amazing against the Macau Blue paint.

The Europameister comes with Belgian title, and EPA and Customs paperwork from entry to the United States. It is hard to have it registered in California so I have kept it in storage. I recommend whoever purchases the car check their state's requirements for obtaining a title with a grey market car. Some are very lenient and don't require smog on cars over 25 years. In most states other than California all that is required is the foreign title, bill of sale, and the EPA and Customs clearance, which I have. But it is the buyer's responsibility.

The Europameister is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells before close of auction.

My market analysis goes like this:

There were 19,000 regular E30 M3s made. One just sold on BAT with 69,000 miles for $58,000. I haven't seen an M3 of any kind with 17k miles for sale recently.

If there was a regular M3 with 17K miles, it would sell for around $95,000. The super low miles cars are worth considerably more.

Then add the Europameister value. It is the rarest M3 (1/148) and the only one in the US. So I'd add $40,000 to the value.

Then I'd subtract $10,000 for the accident and repaint. Although in looking around Europe I only found one M3 with original paint. The stones chip a lot more at twice the freeway speed.

So I'm thinking $125,000 is fair market value. But we shall see what the market says at the close of auction. The reserve is set considerably below the buy it now price, but I included a buy it now price for a buyer who agrees with my market assessment and wants to make sure they get the Europameister with 17, 274 miles.

There was a Europameister in Europe that just sold which was advertised for 69,000 Euros ($88,000) that had 60,000 miles and a repaint. Factor in this car's much lower miles and the time and cost of finding, inspecting and shipping to the United States.

I encourage serious buyers to inspect the car and have a pre-purchase inspection at the mechanic of your choice, since the sale is final.

GLWS...might be priced a bit low.

O.....M......G!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Must stop looking!!!!!!

I miss my e30 M3, but selling it did net me the 993, so I can't complain too much! Best BMW ever, hands down!

Whoa. Nice.

Beautiful car (might want to correct year from 2016 to 1988). Brings back memories of mine purcheased new in 1991 and driving through Europe. Most memorable drives were all in Italy, the north Italian lakes, Amalfi coast, fastest trip was Naples to Bari (140 miles) covered in just under an hour coz I had to catch a ferry - I did. Good luck with the sale.

I'd love to correct the year from 2016 to 1988 but can't figure out how to do it. Does anyone know how?

kon5t

Did you add the Evo spoiler at the front?

kon5t

Also, what make is the exhaust, and do you still have the original fog lights?

Mondrian

Not sure but I think you can edit the footnote and place a correction in bold at the bottom of the listing.

I just remembered that I still have the catalytic convertor of my E30 M3 as I removed it at first service due to availability worries of leaded petrol before travelling. Which is the best european site for M3 parts to list?

Porschekalle

nice car .. but I'd rather buy a 993 a Turbo for that generous price

Robofc

Hi,

The guy who had it since 99 told me the front spoiler and ducts instead of fog lights were factory options. It looks better for it.

I have to check on the type of exhaust. It is the same type that I saw on several others. It was a popular exhaust in Europe in the day. It doesn't sound much different from stock.

Robofc

Here are some photos that show the exhaust system. I am not sure of the brand.

Beautiful!

that one tire looks awful worn for less than 18k miles....

$125k for an M3 that's been banged up and repainted?
