Mystery M3

Ok so I just posted a question on finding a place to smog my friend's M3. I mentioned that it's one out of 45 made, and BMW has him that there are only 18 left. But we have no clue what it is that makes this car so special.

He's going to drop it off tomorrow and then I will post pictures. The reason I said it's one out of 45 is because that's what it says in the door tag!

So before the pictures come, does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Nick

Any more clues? Is it an E30 or E36? What year? Anything unusual about it? We can tell all you need to know, but first we need more than "it's one of 18-45 made".

Maybe an E36 M-tech (factory M3 look-alike)? Or one of the few true "Euro" M3's that made it over?

Maybe there were only 45 made in September 1991 in white with black interior.
