BMW M3 E30 Cecotto 1989 for sale

Rarely does another special model of the BMW E30 M3 connect motorsport history and exclusivity as impressively as the Cecotto Edition. Named after the BMW factory driver and touring car world champion Johnny Cecotto, this model was created in the late 1980s as a particularly high-quality and powerful variant of the E30 M3. The edition honored Cecotto's successes in international motorsport while simultaneously representing a technically advanced version of the M3. Compared to the regular E30 M3, the Cecotto Edition received numerous improvements. The legendary S14 four-cylinder engine delivers 215 hp in this version and features optimized engine management. Additionally, the model was equipped with a particularly extensive specification that masterfully bridged the gap between motorsport technology and elevated comfort. The Cecotto Edition was produced in relatively small numbers and is now considered one of the most sought-after special models of the E30 M3 series. The example offered here is presented in the iconic color Macao Blue Metallic, one of the most characteristic and elegant paint finishes of this edition. The color emphasizes the sporty lines of the E30 M3 while giving the vehicle a timeless elegance. In 2024, this BMW M3 Cecotto Edition was fully restored by a renowned company in Castrop-Rauxel. The company is regarded as one of the leading specialists for BMW E30 and particularly for the M3 models. With the highest standards of quality, originality, and attention to detail, the vehicle was completely disassembled and painstakingly rebuilt. A current appraisal confirms the unique condition with a grade of 1. During the restoration, the engine, drivetrain, suspension, electrical system, and all technical components were thoroughly inspected, overhauled, or renewed. The body, paint, and interior were also meticulously restored, with particular emphasis on correct originality and high-quality execution. The result is a vehicle that today presents itself in an exceptional condition both visually and technically. The restoration is comprehensively documented: a picture PDF of over 100 pages details the individual work steps and provides a complete insight into the quality and depth of the work carried out. Additionally, the first German vehicle registration document is available. This shows that the car was originally registered in Ludwigsburg and thus has a traceable German history. Today, this special example is part of a high-quality collection of an owner in Berlin. This BMW M3 E30 Cecotto Edition thus combines everything that discerning collectors seek: a rare and sought-after special edition, a high-quality and fully documented restoration, original German history, and one of the most beautiful color combinations of the model. An extraordinary classic that embodies motorsport history, exclusivity, and timeless BMW performance.
