E30 325i and M3

Juan Saldarriage is the proud owner of these two beautiful E30s, one a Hartge 325i the other an M3! One thing that is common is both cars performance orientation, each being fettled for increased pace and sharper handling above all else. The E30 325i runs a chipped M20 lump, larger injectors, a Hartge camshaft, headers, exhaust and valve cover. Again the suspension is all Hartge, with sports springs and shocks, struts while the car rolls on 16” Hartge wheels. With a full M-Tech 2 kit, Euro grilles and a silver grey respray it’s a well rounded and rather rare Hartge classic, more than enough E30 for one man you’d think?

And you’d be wrong, what better way to compliment an E30 325i that an E30 M3?
But this is no ordinary M3, the S14 motor has been fully rebuilt with a Turner Motorsport 2.5 kit consisting of Wiseco forged pistons, Pouter rods, a turner chip and Sport Evo crankshaft and Turner gasket kit. This M3 also features Schrick cams and valves, a ported and polished head; 48mm throttle bodies, Alpha N management, and a Supersprint exhaust. With BBS RS2’s under the arches, Eibach springs, various struts and aluminium rear shock mounts it corners like it’s on rails. Interior-wise Recaro buckets, and a Sport Evo wheel resides.

Resprayed in Henna Red the exterior is draped in Sport Evo goodies and wearing Gruppe A mirrors it’s a feast for the eyes. What a pair.
