Neon, Synth, And Horsepower: Five Star Performance Cars From The 1980s

September 17, 2018

BMW M3 E30

When it comes to cars that are legendary on the circuit and on the street, they don’t come much more legendary than the BMW M3. The magic of these cars was that they were extremely close to the cars that won multiple touring car races. As part of the rules for the series, at least 5000 cars that were close to the race car had to be sold. As it turns out, selling the M3 was far from the difficult and expensive task BMW thought it might have been. Instead, they created a legend.

Its body has been painstakingly designed, maximizing airflow to the rear spoiler with its raked rear windshield, while the wheel arches are cathedral-like, for the racers’ bigger tires. Its cornering is as sharp as a knife, with handling that would embarrass some modern supercars. The M3 isn’t outrageously fast. It outputs up to 235 horsepower, and 0-60 takes six seconds. That doesn’t really matter though. It is the polar opposite of the Buick Natty. This car might not be a drag racer, but if you want a car that could take the sharpest corner in the world like it was a cul-de-sac? The M3 is what you need.
