Saw this on the S14 Board. Any one know this car?

Attn: Canadains! Evo 1 imported from Europe! Feeler.

Hi All, I have a 1987 BMW M3 Evo 1 that I imported form Europe and may be forced to sell due to the fact I might be moving to the US and would likely be too expensive to legalize there. It's Alpine White with black full leather. Located near Vancouver BC. Beautiful car, tasteful mods. 145,000KMS. PM me with your Email for pics and more details if interested!

I want to know this car...

Hmmm.....cough.... "Canadain"?
Wouldn't be suprised if it were actually a euro-specd Japan import. Ditto for the Cosworth MB.

Bring your wallet and good luck.

This car is legit, Its not JDM don't know to much yet but he's emailing some pics tonite.

I looked into this car a bit more and the vin is not an EVO I . Its a German car imported to the UK and then into Canada looks ok but needs some "body work" !?!

I've heard of this car a couple years ago. That's a shame that the body isn't the pefect and it's not a real evo1.

You got any proof it's not a genuine Evo1?

"...Externally, the 1987 Evo 1 was identified by extended front and rear spoilers and used a lightweight trunk lid. This model gave no practical road benefits, save a slight increase in stability at higher speeds.
...For the second hand buyer, here a few general M3 variant identification tips. The first Evolution model (200 bhp) had an "E" punched into the cast eye of the cylinder head, which is underneath the fourth cylinder throtlle housing - it can only be seen by using a mirror! ..." (*)

So basically the Evo1 is just a Aero package....

DS Rook · 03-23-2008, 09:51 AM

Yes, basically produced to homologate some aerodynamic parts for racing.

island325is · 03-23-2008, 10:20 AM

I looked into the vin. number and its not an evo number. I have all the vin numbers of the EVO I cars. All were built in march april 1987 and have vins wilth the last seven numbers starting with 219XXXX I may be wrong about his vin but I did find it in the M3 registry.

I thought the interior was different as well? Cloth design etc. Foamy type steering wheel?

island325is · 03-23-2008, 10:29 AM

I dont want to come across sounding bad about this car, I was just hoping it was a real evo as I am looking to buy a "perfect" example of an M3 (if that is possible) and a true early EVO would have been even better.
