    This is a M3 Cecotto, Edition Ravaglia. Only 25 produced, 23 in Red, 2 in Silver. This car is one out of two!

      Hi Tonyo, this car is 65 of of a larger run of 505 special editions at the time, only a small number of the 505 were actually Roberto Ravaglias M3s.

    Great video Harry, i remember when the E30 M3 was "cheap" how times have changed. I've heard rumours that swapping out the S14 for an S50 is a popular conversion on these because of the S14's rebuild costs and the S50 giving you that straight six smoothness with a lot more power, torque & less rebuild cost.

    First time encountering this channel and I must say, bravo mate; Incredibly well done video. That's a rare example of the perfect balance of not covering too many of the same facts that are pretty much common knowledge, while also lending that proper angle of impression of the vehicle from both its day and current times, especially the bits touching on the models it competed against -- even those from the same manufacturer. Very fascinating learning about the M3's C-pillar and rearward changes! Cheers

    I put 100k miles on mine,wonderful sports car. But it requires valve adjustments every 8k miles that would cost between $800 to $1000 every time. The S14 motor is tough and if you don't abuse it will hold up quite well. I bought mine with 65k miles and when I sold it it had 165k and the engine ran perfectly. I kick myself 3 times daily for getting rid of it,a moment of insanity.
