1987 BMW E30 M3 | Blackpool, Lancashire

The E30 M3 is the road car BMW built so it could go touring-car racing, and it is liked for its high-revving four-cylinder engine and flared, purposeful shape. Its touring-car and rally record, including the 1987 Tour de Corse win, ties it firmly to late-1980s motorsport. This car is white with a black interior, a clean pairing that lets the boxed arches and rear spoiler read clearly in shot. Under the bonnet is a 2300cc four-cylinder, and the black cabin has supportive sports seats. Condition is excellent. It is left-hand drive, so the driver sits on the kerb side and the front passenger steps out on the road side, which also gives a continental look on camera. The period shape suits 1980s film and television work, advertising and photography, because the wide arches give a lens plenty of detail on a studio floor or a location. Music videos and events can use the same motorsport look. It also makes a distinctive wedding arrival or a personal hire. The car is based in Lancaster, Lancashire.
