Multilink (rear)
We have had the hots for these cars since we first tested one as our cover story in the January 1988 issue of GRM (then called Auto-X). With a curb weight of just over 2800 pounds, 192 horsepower on tap from a true race-inspired 16-valve, 2.3-liter, four-cylinder engine and flared "boy racer" body work and a chassis to back up the look, you know why.
The first official segment of our M3 installment has just appeared in our June 2001 issue. You can order this issue from our back issues page.
We replace the M3's clutch and put in a short-shift kit
Our newest project car, a 1988 BMW M3, is coming along in a blur of activity.
Our M3 is now safely in the GRM world headquarters workshop after a long trailer ride from the Boston area to our Florida home.
We looked at several cars before settling on the silver with black interior 1988 model shown here.
