Saw this whilst flicking through E-bay ads.

An "M" reg E30 M3?
Weren't they in production from 1986-1992?

What's the deal with this one then?

The DVLA is not perfect and it is not uncommon to give imported cars a plate for the year they were imported rather than manufactured.

That also seems to be a US spec car - certainly not an Evolution. SO would be 192 PS, with normal pattern gearchange.
