When BMW found that they had to satisfy the homologation regulations of the DTM series they were competing in, the result was the E30 M3 which entered the scene in 1986. As the halo car of their hugely popular 3-Series compact executive car, there has been an M3 variant of every generation ever since the E30. The M3 has won accolade after accolade as a fine-handling machine with the appropriately powerful and tuneful engine to match. If you’re looking for a piece of German automotive history, as well as a savvy future investment that you can enjoy pure driving pleasure with, this 1989 BMW E30 M3 from New York fits the bill to a tee. It’s said to be a show/track car with zero rust and underwent a rebuild in 2004. The odometer shows 97,010 miles which is barely scratching the surface of how far these cars can go with proper maintenance.
The E30 M3 was available as a two-door coupe or convertible, and this 1989 BMW E30 M3 is of the coupe configuration. It was repainted in 2004 and wears an appropriately menacing shade of Lachssilber Metallic paint, with 16x7 Speedline wheels, MFW smoked tail lamps, smoked corner markers and front markers, and the original fog lamps. A carbon fiber EVO3 Rep rear wing which is adjustable, carbon-fiber hood, and EVO2 body color and EVO3 Rep carbon Fiber chin spoilers mark this as no ordinary M3. A sunroof is present as well. Venture aboard the black-themed interior and you first notice the Vintage MOMO steering wheel and Recaro Pole Position seats with Simpson harnesses and Autopower bolt-in street roll bar. Take in the relatively simplistic dash with its clear and purposeful dials, and driver-angled center console. The original sport seats are available too and have been stored since 2004. For something that’s track-focused, you do retain some of the creature comforts, as the AC has been converted for R134 use, ensuring that you’re kept calm and cool, whilst an Alpine CD player allows you to listen to some tunes of your choice. The BMW On-Board Computer is present too. A replacement antenna has been installed too, for better radio reception.
Now we’re talking. This 1989 BMW E30 M3’s 2.3L S14 four-cylinder engine has received a rebuild at 86,000 miles at Mechanics in Mineola.

Since the first M3 was released as part of BMW’s E30 3-Series, it has become the definitive driver’s car in the compact luxury segment. Throughout the years, every 3-Series since then has had an M3 on offer, representing the very best of what BMW can offer for this popular compact luxury car model. Today’s 2025 BMW M3 Competition xDrive is from the very latest G80 generation, and it’s the hardcore Competition variant – yes, even the M3 has a harder-than-hardcore derivative now. This lovely sports sedan is up for grabs in Gainesville with under 20,000 miles on the clock. It’s got carbon-fiber interior trim, the M Carbon Exterior Package on the outside, and more.
BMW’s 3-Series is a fine compact luxury car, embodying BMW’s spirit of creating the Ultimate Driving Machine. The default choice for many petrolheads for decades, BMW had the bright idea of pushing the envelope and creating a halo variant in the mid 1980s. Their efforts came to fruition with the E30 M3 that ran between 1986 and 1991. With its fizzy four-cylinder engine and myriad performance enhancements, the letter-and-number pairing of M3 quickly gained a reputation. Ever since then, every 3-Series has been accompanied by an M3. Engines grew from four to six to eight cylinders, and then went back to six, albeit with turbocharging. This particular 2023 BMW M3 Competition from Sunset, Texas is from the current G80 series and has just 5,000 miles on the clock. Plus it’s got the Competition Package for an even more hardcore driving experience, while retaining the family-friendliness that the 3-Series is known for.
The BMW M3 is widely regarded as one of the finest driver teaching tools ever made. It’s the high-performance derivative of BMW’s 3-Series compact car, and has been around since the first E30 M3 came around in 1986. From that time forwards, every 3-Series has had an M3 in its model mix. Today’s 2005 BMW M3 comes from the E46 era of 2000 to 2006, which is the last to have a high-revving naturally aspirated straight six under the hood – consecutive M3s used a V8 or a turbocharged six. This particular car from Burlingame, California is reportedly a track-ready build with JRZ Pro suspension, Volk Racing TE37 18-inch wheels and reportedly packs a new S54 engine with approximately 10,000 miles on it. It’s also said that the transmission is also new, and has around 3,000 miles on it.
The BMW M4 is the hot variant of BMW’s compact-class 4-Series. The 4-Series was introduced as a sportier 3-Series alternative, and in some markets, completely replaced it. Unlike the M3 though, the M4 has always been offered in two-door form, in metal-roofed coupe form, or as a drop-top convertible. Today’s 2024 BMW M4 Competition is from the second generation of the M4 and comes with a nice black canvas top that’s power operated. It’s also got a matte black vinyl wrap, the Driver Assistance Pro Package, Parking Assistance Package, Executive Package and M Compound brakes with red calipers. All that, plus a scant 14,800-mile odometer reading awaits your consideration in Atlanta, Georgia.
BMW’s XM is a full-size crossover with a plug-in hybrid powertrain, designed mainly for the US market. As such, it’s made in BMW’s Greer plant in South Carolina, and comes with a 4.4-liter V8 under the hood. If you’d like to get your hands on an XM right now, we have this 14,000-mile 2024 BMW XM for sale today. Coming to you from Austin, this vehicle comes with the M Driver’s Package, the Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound upgrade, a stunning Sakhir Orange and Black two-tone interior, and even the charger is included with the sale. Isn’t that quite an attractive automotive package to treat yourself to?
This build goes far beyond cosmetic modification. The F31 Touring chassis was never offered in the United States as an F80 M3 wagon, making this “F81 M3 Touring Tribute” a conceptual recreation of what BMW enthusiasts have long wanted: an M3-powered long-roof. Starting life as a 328i xDrive, the car has been transformed mechanically and visually to reflect M3 Competition character, combining practicality with serious performance intent. With over 61,000 miles, it reflects a properly used and developed enthusiast project rather than a static showpiece.
