The 1989 BMW M3 Cecotto Edition, with 21,512 miles on it, is being offered at the RM Sotheby’s Monterey Auction in August.
This 1970 Lamborghini Miura Was Kept in a Living Room for 40 Years. Now It Could Fetch $2.5 Million at Auction.M3 is a pugnacious little brat of a car, more fun to drive than just about anything from the 1980s, short of other homologation specials such as the Renault Turbo 2.
Accompanying—or accounting for—its unbridled success in the showroom, was its success in racing, winning the Nürburgring 24 Hours nearly every year from 1989 through 1994 . It also conquered the Spa 24 Hours in 1987, 1988, 1990, and 1992. A David among Goliaths, it triumphed over competitors running cars with engines that were either much larger, turbocharged, or both. The M3 also successfully competed in the World Touring Car Championship, taking that title in 1987.
In 1989, BMW released the M3 Cecotto Edition. The model variant was named after Jonathan Cecotto, the Italian-Venezuelan racer who helped cement the German marque’s reputation as a dominant force during his time behind the wheel of the M3. The M3 Cecotto Edition was given BMW’s S14 inline-four, a high-revving, 2.3-liter DOHC engine that makes about 215 hp at 6,750 rpm.

Its first owner purchased the vehicle new from the official BMW dealer in Krefeld, Germany, and subsequently sold it to another German enthusiast.
Exported from Italy to Colorado in February of 2023, it has been sparingly used since that time. Highly original and meticulously preserved, this M3 retains its factory-original Misano Red exterior and black leather interior. The original sales invoice, registration documents, and stamped warranty book—with mileage logs—accompany the car, which will be sold without reserve and is estimated to fetch as much as $200,000.
