BMW M3 Johnny Cecotto Edition

The Johnny Cecotto Edition is one of the rarer special-run E30 M3s, built to mark the BMW works driver's touring car career. This is car number 371 of 505, first registered on 20 July 1989. It is finished in Macao Blue Metallic, one of the three colours offered, with Anthracite M-Technic cloth trim.

Cecotto cars are distinguished by lightweight rear glass, chrome-tipped exhausts, retained front fog lights rather than the Evolution II brake ducts, and a body-coloured cam cover and intake plenum. Each also carries a numbered, signed plaque on the centre console.

The car has covered 107,361 miles and comes with its original service book, factory booklets and a history file back to first registration. It has recently been through a comprehensive restoration and mechanical rebuild, including extensive work to the shell and engine. The dealer's database entries (a 1998 date, convertible body and 321 bhp) conflict with the written description and have been disregarded.
