How much hp did it have?

Is there a site anywhere, that list the specs of that one and/or subsequent models?

1987

Do a Google search on "E30 M3" and you'll get tons of info.

"First produced in 1986, the E30 M3 was the product of a factory effort to participate in German
Touring Car racing. The primary opponent was the Mercedes 190 class. Both companies
recognized the great interest in racing and the positive effects of racing on auto sales."


So was it 1987 or 1986?

Nice link Nate, thanks!

And the source I looked up said 1987. Maybe it started with the 1987 model year which began production in 1986.

Off the top of my head, I would have said 1988. So I would have been wrong regardless.

That makes sense, the first probably rolled off the assembly line in 1986, but was a 1987 model...
