Well, Wei Phin must be a very hard worker because he’s only thirty and is on his second BMW. He initially had an E36 318i but managed to sell it and buy this E30 M3. He turned his attention to the E30 M3 due to its developing iconic status and motorsport history (Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters and European Touring Car Championship champion). He also loved moving into an ‘M’-badged Bimmer because of the functional engineering changes that M-cars include.
On the E30 M3, the box-flared wheel arches allow for wider and taller wheels and tires along with a wider track. Different body panels (from the standard E30) also improve aerodynamics. Obviously, more power and improved handling don’t hurt either.
The car was far from perfect when Wei Phin bought it however and it underwent an extensive restoration to achieve its current look. Sadly, he doesn’t get it out very often, calling the M3 a “garage queen.” But he still appreciates owning it and is happy that it’s his garage queen. If you think Wei Phin should turn the M3 into a "pemandu harian" (daily driver), let him know in the comments below!
