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.
This 2005 BMW M3 is definitely made for the track, as you can tell from first glance. It’s painted in Imola Red, but the most prominent feature has got to be its sky-high rear spoiler. Then, you notice that the entire car hugs the ground thanks to the JRZ Pro suspension, and rolls on performance tires wrapped around Volk Racing TE37 wheels that are 18 inches in diameter. There’s also a sunroof delete in place. The stripped out interior of this 2005 BMW M3 retains its dashboard, thankfully, as well as the air conditioning and heating. However, it’s been fitted with a roll cage and has just a single Recaro seat for the driver. There’s also a CAE shifter but everything else appears stock, save for the steering wheel.
This 2005 BMW M3 is a truly awesome or fearsome beast to drive, depending on how you look at it. In stock form, its S54 engine would have made 338hp at 7,900rpm and 269lb-ft at 4,900rpm. It offers an 8,000rpm redline and has individual throttle bodies for each cylinder. We aren’t told if there are any performance modifications made to the engine, however it’s reportedly a new unit with just 10,000 miles on it. Ditto the manual transmission which is also new and benefits from a new clutch as well. As for braking, we’re told that there are Brembo brakes on all corners.

The letter “M” may seem like just another alphabet, but ask any person fueled by the power of gasoline, and you know that isn't the case. For years, BMW’s range of “M” machines has been pushing out some of Germany’s finest and continues to do so. The M3 range is arguably the most popular in the performance-bred steed lineup, and representing that marque is none other than this 2018 BMW M3 we have today. Hailing from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and with just a reported 77,000 miles on its clock, this German powerhouse is tail-happy performance on demand and dons a competition package to sweeten the deal.
Forged from the desire to really make the Ultimate Driving Machine, the BMW M3 first appeared on BMW’s E30 generation of 3-Series, way back in 1986. Since then, every 3-Series, right up to the current G80 generation has had a corresponding M3. Throughout its life so far, the M3 has had four, six and eight-cylinder power. It’s enjoyed natural aspiration and forced induction. It’s been made in coupe, convertible, sedan and station wagon forms. But one thing has always remained true, its amazing enthusiast-pleasing driving manners. You see, the M3 isn’t about outright speed and power. It's never been about that. Instead, its about providing a package that’s engaging to drive and practical to live with. This G80-era 2023 BMW M3 Competition xDrive Sedan is living proof of that ethos. It’s a four-door sedan with all-wheel drive, the Executive Package, Carbon Fiber Trim Package and even a Matte Black PPF! And yet, it’s supremely amazing to drive while being able to carry your family on their regular errands. If you’re interested, this 21,380-mile car is currently available in Lima, Ohio.
Now here’s a truly rare vintage car that is likely the sort you’d be able to buy just once in a lifetime. This 1939 BMW 328 Roadster is a fine example of the German automaker’s long and illustrious history of excellence. It offers you a comprehensive look at what BMW was way back then. In fact, in 1999, the 328 was named one of 25 finalists for the Car Of The Century award by a worldwide panel of auto journalists. Its achingly beautiful shape, potent straight six and the overall pristine condition of this example all make this a highly coveted collector’s piece. That is reflected in its price too. If you want to make this rolling piece of history your own, it’s currently up for grabs in Florissant, Missouri.
Traditionally, the BMW 6-Series was the Bavarian automaker’s finest luxury two-door model before the flagship 7-Series full-size luxury sedan. That all changed in the 1990s when the 8-Series came to be, but even now, you can buy a 6-Series grand tourer. So let’s check out a fine example of the first generation, that ran between 1976 and 1989. This 1987 BMW 635CSi is up for sale in Davenport, Florida, and if you want to know how great it is to drive, consider its 179,000 mile odometer reading a true testament to its excellence. Don’t worry if it seems a little leggy by number; these BMWs are built solidly, and with requisite maintenance, can keep going. And it just takes one look at our photos so see that this car has received some pretty good care.

The C8 Corvette is a very special car for General Motors, the Chevrolet brand, and American car fans all over the country. It’s the first mid-engined Corvette to be made, and really elevates America’s favorite sports car to baby supercar-chasing territory. With its potent 6.2-liter V8, sharp looks and luxurious interior, it’s been deemed worthy enough to also be the first official right-hand drive Corvette, produced in right-hand drive at the factory to be sold in Australia, New Zealand and Japan. That makes C8 Corvette ownership the stuff of dreams for many. Thankfully, we have a 2022 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe 2LT Z51 for sale from Sun City Center, Florida. With 38,329 miles on the clock, this fine machine is the best way to scratch that Corvette itch!
The current C8 Corvette is the benchmark for American sports cars, as the Corvette has been for much of its eight generations of existence so far. Even during the dreaded Malaise Era, the then-third generation was the fastest American sports car available. When the C8 came in 2020, Chevy really raised the bar. They gave the car true supercar inspired looks and moved the engine behind the passenger compartment. That’s why you should really get yourself a C8 if you have even a smidge of petrolhead in your persona. Why not pick this 7,246-mile 2024 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe 2LT Z51 from McMinnville, Oregon? Its also got the Z51 Performance Package on board.
We’re going to let you in on a little secret. Nearly everyone on the ECT team lusts, or has lusted after a Porsche 911 at some point in their life. It’s the definitive petrolhead car and icon of German sporting excellence. Introduced in 1964, the 911 brought a sleek teardrop-styled aerodynamic shape to the table, and plonked a flat-six air-cooled engine in its tail. Then, it gave other features that prevail to this day, such as a five-dial instrument pack on the dashboard. A big change came in mid 1998, when the 996 era was introduced. This is when air cooling was exchanged for water cooling, due to increasing power demands and tightening emissions regulations. That makes cars like this 1998 Porsche 911 Cabriolet from the 993 era one of the last of the air-cooled brigade. They may be the last of an era, but they are far from dinosaurs. This Myrtle Beach-based machine has done just 32,000 miles and comes with a nice 6-speed manual transmission to enjoy. Snap it up before someone else does!
