What if...
You could buy a brand new classic M3 Today?
As BMW and other auto makers continue to produce increasingly modern vehicles that push the boundaries of performance and technology, something remains so appealing about the timeless and analog feel of a classic M3. Clutch Designs’ OEM+ program breathes new life into your vehicle by restoring it back to new condition and enhancing performance and appearance with time appropriate yet modern modifications.
Three Levels of Restoration
As a restoration company, we deal with 20+ year old cars, each one with varying mechanical and cosmetic needs. Every car is thoroughly inspected in a 127 point check list to understand and evaluate needs. Entry level programs address the essential safety repairs and offer cosmetic upgrades to bring your old car back to life, but we realize every project needs to operate within the reality of budget constraints and mechanical service can either be done independently or through us. We also understand that part of the joy of an enthusiast project can be working on a car yourself. Simply put – we give you an honest review of the car and let you chose how to proceed.
OEM+ Restoration and OEM+ Individual Programs take things to the next level, dialing back the clock on your vehicle by introducing brand new parts and materials that will make your car look and drive as good as new. In addition to bringing back to “like new”, we also offer something a new BMW didn’t at the time your vehicle rolled off the production line – full customization tailored specifically to your individual tastes and preferences.

Vehicle Sourcing Program for Enthusiast in all walks of life
Many of us first fall in love with the thrill of driving in our early teenage years and our first car loves stick with us like a time capsule for the rest of our life. For some, that may be an E30 or E46 M3 that we saw in a magazine in high school and now have the means to acquire one, but often times those examples available are neglected or abused. Finding the right car can take months or even years of patience and a large pocket book once the right car arrives. The alternative to this is to find a well loved version and bring it back to life either slowly or all at once. Clutch Designs offers help in finding the right car as well as the guidance to restore and make the vehicle feel new again. For a younger crowd, a more modern M3 like the E9X or F8X checks the box but the barrier to entry in a still recently modern car is high. For those, we offer the services to help find the right car at the right price and a graduated program of restoration and modifications to comfortably enter into ownership. Financing for the right candidate is available as well, please inquire for details.
