A 1990 BMW M3 Sport Evolution has sold for £404,375 (around NZ$934K) at RM Sotheby’s Woodcote Park Auction. The black-over-black coupe was offered as Lot 108 and crossed the block on 8 July.
RM Sotheby’s lists the car as a matching-numbers example and one of just 600 M3 Sport Evolutions produced. Its odometer showed 4,503km at the time of the sale.
The listing records a factory-completion date of 20 February 1990. Both the exterior and cabin are finished in black, while the auction entry identifies the car specifically as a 1990 M3 Sport Evolution.
The details behind the sale
Under the bonnet sits BMW’s 2.5-litre S14 four-cylinder engine. RM Sotheby’s gives the Sport Evolution’s output as 235hp, equivalent to 175kW, and quotes a 154mph top speed, or 248km/h.
The auction listing gives those specifications for this black-over-black 1990 example, whose factory-completion date is also supplied.
The S14 details appear alongside the car’s matching-numbers status in the catalogue. The listing also puts the mileage, production total and factory date on record, making this a precisely documented auction entry rather than a result attached only to a model name.
RM Sotheby’s lists the sale price as £404,375. The auction house records the result against Lot 108 at its Woodcote Park Auction.
