This 1989 BMW M3 coupe is a Japanese-market example that was recently imported by the selling dealer. This largely-stock car is finished in Lachssilber Metallic over black and has 87k kilometers (~54k miles). Modifications are limited to Bilstein Sport shocks, a Panasonic CD player, M-Technic steering wheel and a reupholstered driver’s seat. The mileage and history are documented by an extensive Japanese service file and factory service booklet dating back to 1991. The car was serviced by BMW of Tokyo from new up to its last service at 84k km (~52k miles). It is now offered with the service file, original manuals, JEVIC mileage certification and a clean Washington state title.

Lachssilber Metallic paint shines nicely throughout and remains original apart from the front bumper, side skirts, and mirrors according to the selling dealer. The car has not been involved in an accident to the seller’s knowledge, and is said to retain all of its factory VIN tags.

The body is described as straight with no major flaws of note. Panel gaps are good, and the car retains its factory exhaust system.

This M3 looks quite clean in photos sitting on factory basketweave alloy wheels. Bilstein Sport shocks have been equipped and remain in good working condition.

Inside, this M3 is also clean with black leather, a crack-free dashboard, and all trim in good shape. The driver’s seat has been professionally reupholstered, and the passenger seat shows normal wear consistent with age and mileage.

Interior modifications are limited to an M-Technic steering wheel and Panasonic CD player. All instrumentation, lighting, and electrics are reported to be in proper working order. A/C has been converted to R134a and blows cold according to the seller. A set of factory manuals are included with the sale.

Carpets, door panels and the rear seat appear to be in nice condition in photos, with well-kept leather and surfaces throughout. This M3 is equipped with the optional factory extended range fuel tank mounted behind the rear seat.

Under the clam-shell hood, the factory S14 2.3L four-cylinder engine is paired to a 5-speed manual transmission. This example was last serviced at 84k km (~52k miles) by BMW of Tokyo. Work included new spark plugs, a coolant flush, and an oil change. The seller notes that the paint is peeling on the factory valve cover.

Japanese service documentation includes a factory maintenance booklet and receipts dating back to 1991. According to these records, the car was first serviced at 10k kilometers and consistent maintenance is recorded up to the present. JEVIC mileage certification documents issued a few months ago are also included.

Photos show the car to be in solid shape underneath. The clean undercarriage shows no signs of major corrosion or leaks.

This E30 M3 is described by the selling dealer as a very nice stock example with clean cosmetics, a large service file, and limited modifications.
