How many M3's on the zone?

[billgatese30]

the Johnny Cecotto edition, 480 made

and the Roberto Ravaglia Edition, 25 made

am i correct in thinking that the Roberto Ravaglia models are bascially Cecotto models with only one or two minor differences and are/were marketed as the Europmister version, and the only link to being offcially called Ravaglia is Roberto Ravaglia's signature on the plague.

or am i wrong

thats also why there are 505 of the other evolutions, but only 480 + 25 of the two similar evolutions. (collectivley being the same car hence equalling 505 cars rpoduced to the same spec other than trim level/title etc)

[ShepsEvo3]

I think there were 148 Europameister's - Not UK, (195BHP)
480 Cecottos - Not UK, 25 Revaglias - UK versions of the Cecotto,(215BHP) totalling 505.
500? Evo's, (200BHP?) - mix of UK and not, unsure of exact numbers,
500 Evo2's, (220BHP) - mix of UK and not, unsure of exact numbers,
600 Sport Evo's (238BHP) - 51 UK, the rest not)

I think this is right?

Cheers.

Fair play lads all the M3's are lookin sweet but I was woundering if the left hand drive is hard to get used to or does the fact that it is the ultimate e30 and it does'nt mater where you are sitting.
I've heard before that BMW UK had two or three of the M3's changed over to right hand drive is this true, If so would this not effect the feel of the M3.
Lovely cars lads keep up the great work. I hope i can have one some day.

I've got one!

Early (Oct '86) White M3.
200bhp (non cat) version. on about 73k miles (115k km)
plenty of options, Leather, aircon, OBC, Headlight wash/wipe, sunroof etc
plenty of rust!

Currently on original 15's.
Got a set of 16" BBS split rims in the shed, and a set of 17" BBS splits in the garage. Both part way through being refurbed and hand polished.
Not yet decided which to run and whcih to sell.

It had been standing for a few (4ish) years before I bought it. Took plenty of work (and welding) to get it road worthy again.

aiming to take it to the ring later in the year.

Speaking of M3's I bumped into Tiff Needell today (!) so asked him if the e30 m3 on 5thgear was really that slow
'Yeah tell me about it, couldn't believe it was beaten by that poxy Lancier!'
