A little history on this model:

BMW celebrated the dominance of its E30 M3 in the 1988 Touring Car season with a limited run of 148* "Europameister" edition road cars built from October through December of that year. Based on the regular production M3 with the 195-hp catalyst-equipped S14 engine, all examples featured an identical and unique color scheme: Macao Blue metallic (250) paint with a Silver extended Nappa leather interior that included hide covering the entire centre console and also the special diagonally-pleated door panels. The interior was also equipped with M-stripe lapels on all four seats, as well as door sill plates with the "M3" insignia and an "M" foot rest for the driver. A special plaque on the centre console read "Europameister 1988 auf BMW M3" and was signed by driver Roberto Ravaglia. Most examples of the Europeameister were produced for Germany or Switzerland and they were generally highly-optioned, though additional standard equipment over the normal M3 included only the 7.5x16-inch alloy wheels, green-tinted windshield stripe and power windows.
