The BMW 5-Series is a fine midsize luxury car from BMW, also known as the makers of the Ultimate Driving Machine. Indeed, this self-applied accolade does apply to a variety of their models, past and present. The 5-Series is a great example, especially when you look back at their older variants. Today, we’ve got a 1988 BMW 528E from the E28 era up for sale in Malibu, California. This four-door sedan comes with a smooth in-line six, a recent servicing and is said to be all-stock, mechanically. It’s got an impressive 266,538 miles on the clock but you wouldn’t be able to tell; such is the degree to which the car has been cared for. These cars can keep going if well-maintained, and you should be easily able to pass 300,000 and head for bigger numbers.
This black 1988 BMW 528E showcases the timeless styling of the E28 generation that is the work of Claus Luthe. Students of design can use this as an example of how to make something clean, beautiful and timeless too. Note the signature ‘Hoffmeister Kink’ in the lines of the rear-side windows, as well as the dual headlamps, upright stance, and long profile. Then, see how elegant the BMW dual kidney grilles look, in comparison to today’s gaping nostrils. Even the car’s BMW alloy wheels are simple yet attractive. In fact, older BMWs like this one show that beauty doesn’t mean going over-the-top with outrageous design elements. The tan interior of this 1988 BMW 528E is spacious enough for five adults, and includes comfort features such as automatic climate control, a trip computer, and even a sunroof. Audio, however, has received a much-needed upgrade, thanks to a JVC head unit with Bluetooth and USB inputs. We’re told that there are two subwoofers as well, to give much-needed punch since sound systems weren’t exactly the best in the Seventies and Eighties.
The 2.7-liter in-line six that moves this 1988 BMW 528E is factory rated for around 120 horsepower and 177lb-ft. These figures are made at just over 4,000 and 3,000rpm respectively, signaling that this engine is tuned to be a cruiser, offering excellent long-distance driving abilities with minimal engine noise and optimal fuel economy. Power goes to the rear axle through a 4-speed automatic gearbox. The car has also received a new battery.

BMW’s range has grown quite a bit over the past decade or so. You’ve got their electric ‘i’ range of course, then there’s the X range of SUVs, and of course the well-known number series of cars. Even here, gaps have been filled – for example the best-known 3,5 and 7 have now been joined by 1,2,4,6 and 8. Today, we have a 2026 BMW M4, which as you can possibly guess, is from the 4-Series. The 4-Series sits just above the 3-Series, as a spin-off from its coupe and convertible variants. But wait, BMW also made a 4-Series Gran Coupe, which is a four-door. Confusing much? Don’t worry because, as the name tells us, this M4 from Valparaiso, Florida, is the hottest 4-Series you can buy, and it’s a sleek two-door coupe. With a highly sought after premium exterior color and a superbly potent twin turbo six under the hood, it’s the perfect family car for an enthusiast, replete with only 1,300 miles to its name.
This 2015 BMW i8 stands out as a coveted early-production example equipped with the top-tier Pure Impulse World package, making it one of the most premium configurations available. Finished in Crystal White Pearl Metallic w/ Frozen Blue Accents, it carries the most iconic i8 look while pairing it with the Pure Impulse Carum Spice Full Perforated Leather interior—BMW’s highest interior specification for the model year. The combination of hybrid performance, exotic butterfly-door styling, and a $150K original MSRP positions this i8 as a futuristic grand-touring sports car with a luxury-focused package rarely seen on standard trims.
Forged from the desire to really make the Ultimate Driving Machine, the BMW M3 first appeared on BMW’s E30 generation of 3-Series, way back in 1986. Since then, every 3-Series, right up to the current G80 generation has had a corresponding M3. Throughout its life so far, the M3 has had four, six and eight-cylinder power. It’s enjoyed natural aspiration and forced induction. It’s been made in coupe, convertible, sedan and station wagon forms. But one thing has always remained true, its amazing enthusiast-pleasing driving manners. You see, the M3 isn’t about outright speed and power. It's never been about that. Instead, its about providing a package that’s engaging to drive and practical to live with. This G80-era 2023 BMW M3 Competition xDrive Sedan is living proof of that ethos. It’s a four-door sedan with all-wheel drive, the Executive Package, Carbon Fiber Trim Package and even a Matte Black PPF! And yet, it’s supremely amazing to drive while being able to carry your family on their regular errands. If you’re interested, this 21,380-mile car is currently available in Lima, Ohio.
Chevy’s answer to Ford’s pony car challenge, the Camaro came in 1967 and brought a sister along for the ride, in the shape of the Pontiac Firebird. This was a smart move by General Motors as it allowed them to sell two suitably varied models in the same segment but with much of the same underpinnings, engines and other components. The Firebird was axed in 2002 but the Camaro continued to be made until 2024. That makes it the second longest-running pony car in history. Today, we’ve got a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in St. Cloud, Florida. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 is a show-stopping example of American muscle restored to concours-level detail. Verified by its X66 code and built at the Norwood, Ohio plant, this real-deal Super Sport coupe combines factory originality with subtle performance enhancements that elevate both its drivability and collectability. With its matching-numbers big-block, correct Turbo 400 transmission, and period-authentic Holley 4346 carburetor, this Camaro is the perfect blend of raw 1960s muscle and expert craftsmanship.
Chevy’s second-generation Corvette was made from 1963 to 1967, but across that relatively short lifcycle, over 117,000 examples found homes. This highlights how popular the Corvette was back then, much like it is now. The second generation or C2 brought about many features that we know from later ‘Vettes, such as pop-up headlamps, the boat-tailed styling, and the exclusive use of V8s for the Corvette – the C1 did offer a six cylinder early in its lifecycle but that wasn’t deemed worthy for a top-tier sports car. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe for sale from Shohola, Pennsylvania, and let us tell you it’s a catch. With a growling 327 under the hood, this is classic American car nirvana at its finest. Plus, given the great condition of the car, it’s a sure-fire appreciating asset if you continue to look after it. If you’re interested in getting your hands on this beauty, we’re waiting for your call or DM.
Chevy’s third-generation Corvette of 1968 to 1982 was the best-seller in the entire range, in terms of generational numbers. Thanks to its super-long production run, over 542,000 were made, despite it carrying on through the dreaded Malaise Era. During these dark times for automotive enthusiasts, Chevy worked hard to maintain the Corvette as one of the fastest American cars around – of course that was a subjective term, but impressive, nonetheless. Hence, a C3 Corvette is a robust way to enter the world of classic American cars. Want to know more? We’ve got a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette for sale from Littleton, Colorado right here. It packs a 350ci L48 under the hood, paired with an automatic transmission to make it more convenient for those who never bothered to learn stick shift.
