Description

BMW E30 320is Coupé (2-door)

320is Coupé

• 2. 0 S14 16-valve (basically a destroked M3 motor)

• 192 hp / 143 kW

• 210 Nm torque

• 0–100 km/ h: 6. 9 sec

• Top speed: 230 km/ h

• Around 1, 200 kg, so noticeably lighter than an M3

• Dogleg 5-speed gearbox with LSD

What’s fascinating is the 320is Coupé was actually lighter than the M3, and because it had a shorter-stroke crank, many journalists said it revved sweeter and felt more eager than the 2. 3 M3. Despite having only around 8 hp less, it managed virtually the same 0–100 time, which is incredible.

Most 320is Coupés came with the M-Tech 2 body kit, but there were a few understated ones without the body kit, which almost looked like a normal E30 — a proper wolf in sheep’s clothing. Many enthusiasts actually call it the “Italian M3” and some reckon it’s even more special because of how rare and understated it is.
