No. of produced cars: Information not available at the moment.
Based on the 1986 model year E30 3 Series the first generation BMW M3 was only available in coupe and convertible bodies. It used the BMW S14 engine. It differed from the rest of the E30 line-up in many ways. Although it was using the same basic unit-body shell as the standard E30 it was equipped with 12 different and unique body panels for the purposes of improving aerodynamics, as well as “box flared” wheel-arches in the front and rear to accommodate a wider track with wider and taller wheels and tires. The hood, roof panel, sunroof, and door panels were the only exterior body panels shared with the standard E30.
