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.

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.
The Porsche 911 came into the world by 1964, and ever since then, it’s been widely acknowledged as one of the most important sports cars of all time. Its rear-engined layout, defining teardrop shape and 2+2 seating configuration all make for something truly special that appeals to petrolheads from every country in the world. For the first 34 years of the 911’s life, the engine used air cooling, but in 1998, a notable change took place with the introduction of the 996 generation of the 911. The engine gained water cooling in response to demands for more power, as well as ever-tightening emissions regulations in key markets. Today, we’ve got a 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet for sale with a few upgrades that make it even nicer to own and drive. Bearing 98,535 miles on its odometer, this beauty is up for sale in Wichita, Kansas.

While the Volkswagen Golf may seem relatively mainstream in the United States, it’s a big deal in Europe. That’s because when it debuted for the 1974 model year, it was seen as a modern, value-packed, front-wheel drive family car that was economical and more importantly, fun to drive. Then, Volkswagen introduced the Golf GTi in 1976 and created what we now know as the hot hatchback. The Golf remains on sale to this day, and there’s a variant that’s even hotter than the GTi in the Golf hierarchy. That variant is called the Golf R, which debuted with 2012’s seventh generation. Today, we’ve got an example of a seventh generation Golf R for sale. Say hello to this 2019 Volkswagen Golf R with less than 52,000 miles from Hialeah, Florida. It’s the perfect hot hatchback slash family car for someone who’s a petrolhead but needs a suitably comfortable, practical and well-built vehicle that’s also compact, and most importantly, not an SUV!
