The E30 M3 Evolution was followed by the E30 M3 Evolution II. 500 of which were built in the Spring of 1988. (NOTE: This model is officially known simply as the "M3 Evolution". since BMW M considers the 505 examples of the first M3 Evolution produced in 1987 as a slight variation on the regular M3 and not a separate edition in its own right. ) Unlike the first Evolution. the E30 M3 Evolution II received significant mechanical upgrades to its S14 motor (identifiable by unique valve covers in white with tri-color Motorsport stripes). New pistons raised the compression to 11:1 (from 10. 5:1). the air intake was improved. the flywheel lightened and the engine management revised. Power increased to 220 hp and 181 lb/ft of torque. both at the same rpm as the standard non-catalyst S14 motor. The close-ratio Getrag 5-speed manual gearbox carried over unchanged. though the final drive was reduced slightly from 3. 25:1 to 3. 15:1. Larger 7. 5x16-inch alloy wheels with 225/45ZR16 tires. normally an extra-cost option on the standard M3. were fitted as standard to the Evolution II. However. there were no alterations to the suspension or brakes. The exterior of the Evolution II can be easily identified by its deeper front airdam. additional rear lip spoiler on the trunk lid and front brake cooling ducts in place of foglights . In addition. thinner window glass. plus a lightened trunk lid and bumpers. reduced weight by 22 pounds. The E30 M3 Evolution II was offered only in three exclusive exterior colors: Misano Red (236). Macao Blue metallic (250) and Nogaro Silver metallic (243). The sole interior choice was Silver cloth with matching leather bolsters. Both the front and rear seats were fitted with the tri-color M lapels (as used on the E28 M535i/M5). plus an M foot rest and door sill plates with the "M3" insiginia were included. Finally. a special dashboard plaque denoting the specific number of each example out of 500 was fitted to every Evolution II. All features from the normal M3 option list were also offered on the M3 Evolution II at extra cost. with the exception of the green-tinted windshield stripe. which was standard equipment.
