The 1988 BMW M3 is part of the model's first generation and represents the epitome of BMW's sporting heritage. This compact two-door coupe features a 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 192 horsepower. The model was equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission and featured rear-wheel drive. Stocky fendors, prominent spoilers and aerodynamic bumpers distinguished this performance-focused model from the more standard offerings in the BMW 3 series of the era. Internally, the vehicle continued BMW's reputation for comfort and luxury, featuring comfortable seating and comprehensive instrument collection. However, there were no significant technological advancements in terms of infotainment as it predates the era of touchscreens and advanced connectivity.
