Line 89: To keep the M3 competitive for the 1988 season, the Evolution 2 was released. 501 examples were built between March and May 1988, it featured a revised camshaft, pistons and an increased compression ratio from 10.5:1 to 11.0:1. There was also a more efficient air intake and a lightened flywheel. Visually the Evolution 2 featured a BMW Motorsport tricolour camshaft and intake plenum cover. Power increased to {{cvt\|162\|kW\|PS\|0}} at 6750 rpm and {{cvt\|245\|Nm\|lbft\|0}} at 4750 rpm. For the Evolution 2, BMW installed a slightly reduced final drive ratio to provide a higher top speed (3.15:1 instead of 3.25:1). Visual changes included a deeper front ~~spoiler~~air dam with brake cooling ducts instead of fog lights, while the boot lid featured a rear spoiler complete with a new trailing flap. These assemblies were all made lighter than on previous iterations of the M3. More weight was saved thanks to the installation of thinner side and rear glass. ==== Sport Evolution ====
