BMW’s future has been heavily focused on its ‘Neue Klasse’ design language, signalling a shift towards unified and forward-thinking aesthetics that draw inspiration from the past. Amid this evolution, enthusiasts often wonder how these modern cues could enhance beloved classics. One artist has taken this challenge to heart in digital design by reimagining the legendary E30 M3 with a contemporary twist that bridges old and new.
Korean digital artist Ihn Lee, known on social media as _two_persons, showcased his take on a revived E30 M3 incorporating the signature elements of the upcoming 2025 Neue Klasse lineup. This modern concept retains the E30’s cherished boxy silhouette while integrating sleek features like updated LED lighting and bold, oversized wheels. The CGI’s blend of heritage and innovation underscores a refined approach that preserves the model’s essence yet elevates its visual appeal.
Lee’s vision extends beyond a single model, illustrating the E30 M3 in multiple configurations, including a two-door coupe, a Convertible, and even a practical M3 Touring shooting brake. Each version highlights a unique interpretation, with specialized editions like an AC Schnitzer Sport Evo and even a Polizei version adding imaginative flair. These details demonstrate a meticulous commitment to what could be an enthusiast’s dream brought to life.
While BMW is unlikely to revisit the E30 M3’s iconic design in an official capacity, these artistic renditions remind fans why the original remains so revered. The balance of nostalgia and future-focused elements in Lee’s project invites us to dream of what could be possible in a parallel automotive universe—where timeless icons get a second chapter.
