Not all cars are instantly loved. Some require a bit of time to be appreciated. But uncovering these hidden gems arguably makes them all the more special to collectors. And that’s precisely how the market is now responding to the BMW Z3 Coupe, aka the “Clownshoe.” When new, some considered the coupe-breadvan style somewhat odd, but with time, the Z3 coupe has become one of the most desirable versions of the acclaimed first-gen Z3. Our featured 2001 BMW Z3 3.0i Coupe has the desirable 5-speed manual gearbox and shows just 16,800 miles. Located in Clearwater, Florida, this Z3 hatchback coupe represents one of the more unique shapes in BMW’s modern history, offering a blend of collectible appeal and pure driving enjoyment.
The breadvan, as the 2001 BMW Z3 3.0i Coupe’s bodystyle was affectionately known, is perhaps best portrayed in this Jet Black finish with a subtle aggression, complementing the Z3 Coupe’s unmistakable shooting-brake silhouette. The body remains clean and well-preserved, riding on 17-inch staggered-width Style 42 wheels — a classic two-piece BMW design that is perfect for this generation. Inside, the driver is greeted by a black leather interior accented by rich maple wood trim. The cabin is compact and focused, with well-bolstered seats and a low-slung driving position. Factory features include the Harman-Kardon premium sound system and BMW Coded Driveaway Protection for added peace of mind.
Under the hood lies a hallmark of many great BMWs: a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine. This particular engine features double VANOS, which is BMW’s name for its variable valve timing and dual-resonance intake system. This provides the best of both worlds when it comes to low-end torque and high-revving power. Coupled with the five-speed manual gearbox, this low-mileage 2001 BMW Z3 3.0i Coupe will undoubtedly prove itself to be an ultimate driving machine.
Made between 1995 and 2002, the BMW Z3 was a two-door, two-seat compact sports car that was intended to open up BMW’s appeal to a broader, younger audience. It offered many of BMW’s driving and luxury attributes in a compact and more urban-friendly package. Plus, the Z3 was BMW’s first model to be solely manufactured outside Germany, with all examples coming to life at the company’s plant in Greer, South Carolina. The Z3 even had an outing as a Bond car, featuring in 1995’s Goldeneye where Pierce Brosnan briefly drives it. Now, the Z3 is attaining modern classic status and we have one up for grabs. It’s a 2000 BMW Z3 2.3 from Sebastian, Florida, with over 61,000 miles on the clock. It’s also a reportedly all-stock car.
BMW’s compact sports car offering of the Nineties, the Z3 was made between 1996 and 2002. It slotted in as an entry-level offering, and was based on the E36 Compact’s platform. With over 297,000 units sold during its production run, the Z3 was definitely a hit. It made the BMW brand more attainable to a younger crowd who wanted something hip, funky and easy to drive. This 2000 BMW Z3 2.3 Roadster, for example, is one of 22,282 of its kind, and currently resides in Bristol, Tennessee. With just over 34,000 miles, a smooth straight six under the hood and an automatic gearbox, it's an ideal first car for anyone. The original owner’s manual is available too!
Launched in the late 1990s, the BMW Z3 M Roadster took the compact proportions of the Z3 and infused them with the heart and chassis tuning of BMW’s M division. This 1998 example is finished in Imola Red II over a black interior with a black convertible soft top, presenting as both a driver’s car and a collectible modern classic. With just 30,900 miles reported, it is powered by a 3.2-liter naturally aspirated inline-six paired to a 5-speed manual transmission, delivering the raw, analog driving experience enthusiasts prize.
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.

Eight generations of Corvette are available right now, and we at Exotic Car Trader have shifted examples from all eight of them. Today’s 2010 Chevrolet Corvette 2LT Convertible comes from the sixth generation, called the C6. It’s a fine, V8-powered drop-top from Cabot, Arkansas and comes with just 8,795 miles on the clock. Plus, it’s got the owners manual included with the sale, as well as both keys. Oh, and did we say it’s rear wheel drive and packing a stick shift? Yup, this might as well be driving nirvana, wrapped up in a white package and containing red leather on the inside.
This 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is available right now in San Marcos, Texas, and why should you buy it? Well, for starters, it’s got a scarcely believable 8,000 miles on the odometer! That’s fantastic for a sixth-generation or C6 Corvette, but this car also rocks the Z51 Performance Package and the 3LT Preferred Equipment Group. This means it’s not only well-equipped, but a treat to drive. In case you don’t know, the C6 was a notable step up from the C5 thanks to its slightly shorter overall dimensions but longer wheelbase. This made the car a nicer handling package, as well as gave it a roomier interior. Plus, this car comes with a 6-speed manual transmission to really work out the larger V8 that came with the C6. There’s more, of course, so keep reading.
