The Original M3: BMW E30 Legend - The Gated Shift
This week, The Gated Shift podcast explores the car that many consider to be the greatest M car of all time: the BMW E30 M3. We'll go beyond the legend and delve into the engineering that made this car so special. Discover the secrets of the high-revving S14 four-cylinder engine, the meticulously designed chassis, and the aerodynamic enhancements that set the M3 apart from the standard 3 Series. We'll also explore its development as a homologation special for Group A touring car racing, and its incredible string of victories on tracks around the world. And we'll discuss why, decades later, the E30 M3 remains one of the most rewarding and engaging driver's cars ever created.
