E30 M3 Spec - Euro, USA and Jap
Discussion
Hi all,
I wanted to ask the difference between the Euro, USA and Jap spec E30 M3's. Any thoughts?
I assume the core differences are:
Europe: Full Spec BHP as less stringent Emissions
USA : Lower Spec BHP due to Emissions, Reflectors on side bumpers for regs, Less choice compared to Euro Spec Evos etc
Jap:? Are these Euro or USA spec as standard?
In short, if I were to buy a Jap spec one with decent service history its fair to say that it "Should" be worthslightly less thnan a proper Euro spec one. Going on the rationale that Jap ones are always worth slightly less.
Thanks

No need for the help, managed to find the answer after some searching. Standard Jap spec comes with H box like USA and has Euro Body, however many Euro and USA spec were imported into Japan so VIN number checks help identify which ones.
