BMW’s E30 remains one of the Bavarian automaker’s most-hallowed generations of the popular 3-series compact sedan. Produced between 1982 and 1994, the E30 would see a minor refresh in 1985 and a major update in 1987, and was produced as a two and four door sedan, two-door convertible, and five-door wagon. Over 2.4 million E30s were sold worldwide. This New York-based 1989 BMW 325is is a two-door sedan example that comes with 140,000 miles on the odometer, although the seller notes that the odometer does not function now. It’s also got original German plates for the front and rear supplied as well, for that added bit of authenticity. If you’re looking for an iconic E30, why not go for this instead of the sedan that most people tend to go for?
Exterior and Interior
BMW’s Chief Designer Claus Luthe had no idea that the design he led would become so iconic, and remain fresh and desirable to this day. In fact, E30s are even being bought by those who weren’t even born when the model debuted, such is its hallowed status. This 1989 BMW 325is has reportedly been recently repainted and presents its lines in a silver suit, with exterior pinstriping. It also carries the discrete trunk lid spoiler and iconic Eighties BMW alloy wheels shod in Falken tires. Twin tailpipes jutting out at a rakish angle from beneath the rear bumper signal its playful nature, much like a slightly-skewed cap. The interior maintains a black theme, and you can note the driver-focused layout that the E30 is famous for, including the center console that is slightly angled towards the driver. This example has leather seats, rubber floor mats, and air conditioning which the seller notes, works with a slight noise. Entertainment is courtesy of a modern JVC head unit with CD and AUX inputs. The desirable trip computer is also present.
Engine
This 1989 BMW 325is is powered by the 2.5L M20 straight-six gasoline engine that puts out 168hp and 164lb-ft to the rear wheels via a five-speed Getrag manual transmission. This combo has been much praised for endowing the E30 with the right amount of power to have fun, not too much or too little. Braking is via discs on all wheels.
The BMW E30 is often regarded as one of BMW's most exceptional achievements and a model that may never be eclipsed in terms of acclaim. To underscore this assertion, even the stylish BMW Z1 roadster drew its inspiration from the E30 platform. The genesis of the BMW 3 Series dates back to 1975 when it was conceived as a compact executive car. However, it wasn't until the introduction of the second-generation 3 Series in 1982, the E30, that the model truly garnered a devoted following. Its presence in the US market spanned a relatively brief period, from 1984 to 1991, during which it rapidly attained cult status. Behold the highly collectible 1989 BMW 325iS, proudly displaying 130,000 miles on its odometer and maintaining exceptional condition.

Few vehicles embody the spirit of late-1990s BMW performance quite like the Z3 M Roadster. Developed by BMW M to bring genuine sports car dynamics to the compact Z3 platform, the M Roadster combined classic rear-wheel-drive handling with the legendary S52 inline-six engine and a standard manual transmission. This 1998 BMW Z3 M Roadster shows approximately 35,878 miles and stands out thanks to its desirable Dinan performance upgrades, including a high-flow cold air intake, high-flow throttle body, engine software tune, and front strut tower brace. Finished in Cosmos Black Metallic over a Black interior, this low-mileage example offers a compelling blend of open-top driving enjoyment, analog BMW M performance, and period-correct Dinan enhancements from one of BMW’s most respected aftermarket tuning specialists.

Finished in Sophisto Grey Metallic with BMW i Frozen Blue accents over a Giga Amido full perforated leather interior, the i8 still looks strikingly modern even a decade after its debut. Combining dramatic scissor doors, a carbon fiber passenger cell, and a turbocharged hybrid powertrain, the i8 delivered a vision of what performance cars could become while maintaining everyday usability and impressive efficiency. Low-mileage examples such as this continue to stand out as highly collectible modern BMW halo cars.
Introduced as the high-performance flagship of BMW’s E46 3-Series lineup, the E46 M3 remains one of the most celebrated modern M cars ever built.
