Turner Motorsport: Project E30 M3

Roy Wicklund's E30 M3

Roy purchased this super clean 1991 BMW E30 M3 in the spring of 1998 and has proceeded to turn it into one of the finest road/track M3's you'll ever see. His initial goal was to convert it to the equivalent of the Sport Evolution (Evo 3) model sold only in Europe in 1990, but he went well beyond that….. it has virtually every engine, brake, suspension, wheel, and miscellaneous options Turner Motorsport (TMS) offers, including the 2.5

stroker engine with a Stage 3 cylinder head. In addition to its 275 bhp performance and exceptional handling, this M3 is drop-dead gorgeous with it's numerous, but subtle, appearance adds, like the Evolution 2 front and Evolution 3 rear spoilers, clear lenses, and BBS-RK or SSR competition wheels. And, if that weren't enough, it has a custom, award-winning sound system that would make you never want to get out of this car.
