BMW E30 M3 Ravaglia
SOLD
very exciting opportunity has arrived in the form of this E30 M3 Ravaglia, one of only 25 Ravaglia’s that were built for the UK.
The Ravaglia featured the engine from the Evo 2 but was installed with a catalytic converter, hence the 5 bhp reduction to 215bhp. The engine cam cover and the plenum chamber where painted in one of only three body colours (Misano red, Macao blue and Nogaro silver).
The front and rear additional spoilers from the Evo 2 were used along with lightened bumper irons, boot lid and rear boot spoiler. The later 16” wheels were fitted but with black centres. A graduated tint front windscreen was standard on Ravaglia’s as was a Motorsport footrest, M3 door sill plates, illuminated gear knob, cassette holder, on-board computer, polished exhaust tail pipe trims, silver headlining, sun visors, pillar trims and Motorsport cloth and half black leather seats. All this polished off with the all-important signed Roberto Ravaglia dashboard plaque.
A
This example has covered only 53,000 miles in the hands of 4 previous keepers. The service history is 100% complete and supported by documentation back 1996. The condition of the car is simply superb throughout. The bodyshell remains unrestored, has never been welded and never suffered from corrosion that afflicted so many E30 M3s. The paintwork remains largely original with only the bonnet and front wings having ever been painted. The interior of the car is totally original and in stunning condition, still featuring the correct Blaupunkt Cambridge radio and the all-important Ravaglia dash plaque. This M3 remains in the original specification that she left the factory in with no modifications.
