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.
The 1989 BMW 325iS boasted a color palette of nine options, including three standard choices and six premium selections. Among these premium hues, Salmon Silver, adorning this particular 325iS, is a notably rare color. The front fascia features the iconic BMW dual kidney grilles accented by a chrome bezel, flanked by quad circular headlights. Below, a prominent front air dam is complemented by vents and fog lights, while the hood's distinct contour adds a touch of flair. The sides exhibit subtly flared wheel arches adorned with rubber lining, and the rear is graced by a modest spoiler atop the distinctive BMW roundel. This E30 model elegantly rests on a set of wire mesh OEM wheels, adorned with the BMW emblem at the center, along with aftermarket tire valve accents. Within the cabin, the 1989 BMW 325iS offers a single interior option - leather upholstery in an all-black configuration, featuring black stitching. Testament to the car's age is the original steering wheel, which proudly bears the marks of time. The steering wheel, a three-spoke design, exhibits thoughtful detailing, such as the BMW colors at the bottom of the vertical spoke.
The 1989 BMW 325iS masterfully amalgamates performance, luxury, and practicality - a challenging trifecta rarely executed flawlessly. This model is equipped with a 2.5L straight-six engine mated to a 5-speed Getrag manual transmission. It yields a reported power output of 168 horsepower, complemented by 164 lb-ft of torque.

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?
Once in a proverbial blue moon, an automaker will showcase a jaw-dropping concept car and then…make a production car that’s very close in appearance and engineering. These gems of the automotive world are few and far between. One of those examples from the past fifteen or so years is the BMW i8. It started life as the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept in 2009. Two years later, BMW showcased a second concept called the i8 Concept, which was mildly changed. Then, in 2013, a prototype was revealed, and the actual thing was going into production by April 2014. With its space-era looks, hybrid powertrain and 0-60 time of 4.4 seconds, the BMW i8 was truly something like no other. Since production ended in 2020, it’s doubtless destined to be one of those cars that gains and maintains a cult following as time goes by. Just 6,776 were made in total, and we’ve got one of them today. Here’s a 2017 BMW i8 from Paradise Valley, Arizona for sale, with just under 10,000 miles done so far.
The Alpina B8 is perhaps the pinnacle of this niche vehicle manufacturer's range. Luxury in everything your hand can touch, and a pair of Weber carbs and a crank on their logo, reflecting the company's roots as a tuner. The first proper Alpina was not the old Fiats and Beetles that founder Burkard Bovensiepen tinkered with in his youth, but the A1 based on the BMW E21. Inevitably, they turned further away from being an outright race manufacturer towards focusing on their bespoke luxury models. Today, we have incredible examples like this 2023 BMW B8 Alpina Gran Coupe as a result. With as little as 9,494 miles on its clock, this beauty is available for sale in Cottleville, Missouri.
As many of you have probably noticed, a BMW enthusiast will go haywire if you bring up the M models. There is a good reason for this, as they represent the pinnacle of the German brands' performance and engineering prowess. There are over ten M models offered by BMW so far, and you can choose from coupes, convertibles, touring, grand coupes, and SUV body designs. The M3 models have been produced for every generation of the 3 Series since 1986. What we are subjecting here is the E90/E92/E93 generation, which extended through 2007–2013. This stunning 2013 BMW M3 Convertible is an E93 model, which is treated with a few tasty aftermarket modifications. With only 35,491 miles on its clock, this M3 is available for sale in Calabasas, California.
Occasionally, a manufacturer comes along that wows the car industry with their truly remarkable creations, leaving even the most critical journalists stunned. This 2024 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 3LZ Convertible, which has just under 2,100 miles on the odometer, is a car that would knock the socks off all of its competitors. The Corvette name has been around since 1953, and in that over 70-year production run, it has always fulfilled its purpose through GM’s tried and tested formula – Look good, go fast, and make a good noise. Nice to see that not much has changed.
Choosing a seventh generation or C7 Corvette is a smart move if you want a sports car that’s iconic, a definite future classic, and of course, America. Chevy’s eighth-generation Corvette from 2020 onwards shifted into a mid-engined layout and went supercar chasing, making the C7 the last of the front-engined Corvette era. Today, you can find a lovely specimen in the shape of this 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible from Sarasota, Florida, for sale with just over 30,000 miles on the clock. It’s got a host of features and a Corvette brochure is included too.
Chevy’s Corvette is a car that many aspire to own and drive at some point in their life. Few cars in the world, let alone America, have reached such legendary status. Few cars in the world continue for over seventy years after their introduction. The Corvette is thus one of a handful of all-time automotive greats. Made across eight generations, it’s weathered tough times and emerged victorious. Even during the dreaded Malaise Era, the Corvette was the fastest American car available at the time. Today’s 2007 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible comes from far happier times, specifically the C6 or sixth generation of 2005-2013. The C6 saw a shift towards tauter styling, improved handling and of course, more power. Today’s 2007 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is thus a fine example of a C6 as it bears only under 23,000 miles on its odometer. Coming with the Memory Package, Preferred Equipment Group and so much more, this Wisconsin-based Vette could be yours for the taking – if you act with speed.
