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.
The Yas Marina Blue finish is a signature M color and immediately ties the car to the F80 generation M3. Paired with 20-inch Style 666M wheels—an iconic Competition Package design—the stance and proportions closely mirror factory M3 aesthetics. The lowered suspension enhances the visual presence while reducing wheel gap for a more purposeful look. Inside, Oyster Dakota leather maintains BMW’s upscale touring feel, while carbon fiber trim reinforces the motorsport theme. Unlike many stripped-out conversions, this example retains its original Premium, Cold Weather, and Lighting packages, along with navigation and Park Distance Control, preserving comfort and daily usability.
The most significant element of this build is the 3.0L twin-turbocharged inline-6 replacement, effectively bringing M3-level architecture into the F31 chassis. The conversion from xDrive to rear-wheel drive is particularly noteworthy, as it alters the vehicle’s balance and drivetrain dynamics to more closely match the F80 M3’s driving character. The 6-speed manual transmission further enhances engagement, offering the mechanical connection enthusiasts expect from an M-derived platform. Lowering springs and M3 Competition-style hardware suggest upgraded suspension tuning aimed at sharper turn-in, reduced body roll, and improved high-speed stability. With the long-roof body style, weight distribution differs slightly from a sedan, often resulting in added rear stability under throttle. In practical terms, this configuration delivers the practicality of a wagon with acceleration and handling characteristics that approach genuine M-car territory. Overall, this is not a factory M3, but as a performance tribute build, it represents a rare combination of practicality, enthusiast engineering, and M-inspired driving dynamics that BMW never officially offered in the U.S. market.

Designed by Pinky Lai, the E36-generation BMW 3 Series remains one of the most timeless and balanced designs of the 1990s. This 1998 BMW 328i Convertible showcases that elegance beautifully in its Morea Green Metallic exterior, perfectly complemented by a Sand leather interior that adds warmth and sophistication. The sleek proportions, neatly integrated kidney grilles, and refined simplicity give it a distinctly modern charm even decades later. With its black convertible top, the car maintains a sharp contrast that looks equally appealing whether raised or lowered. Inside, it’s equipped with classic BMW amenities of the era, including dual-zone automatic climate control, air conditioning, a cassette radio, an on-board trip computer, power windows, cruise control, and heated front seats—all contributing to an authentic and comfortable driving experience.
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.

One of the most interesting and true-to-original modern muscle cars has got to be the third-generation Dodge Challenger. When it debuted in 2008, the American public were thrilled because here was a car that looked like it came from the golden era of muscle cars – the Sixties! Yet, it also had modern elements to its look, an up-to-date passenger cabin, and a slew of modern, punchy engines, including, of course, V8s. The Challenger in this form would be made right up until 2023, assembled in Brampton and always made as a two-door notchback coupe. But hang on, convertibles do exist. Yes, we’ve got a 1 of 1 build by Droptop Customs, in the form of this 72-mile 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 Convertible. Indeed, this is one special car that’s definitely a collector’s piece but who’s to say you can’t enjoy it? If you absolutely must own this machine, contact us ASAP because it lives in Boca Raton, Florida. Oh, and we must casually mention that it’s got 1,025 horses under the hood.

Now here’s a truly one of a kind car that you can get your hands on right now. This 1998 Mercedes-Benz C43 DTM is based on the W202 generation of C-Class which ran between 1993 and 2000, but it’s heavily been customized for SEMA 2025 to debut the current seller’s V2 W202 DTM bodykit. The current owner says that the entire bodykit is carbon fiber and manufactured by his company. Notably, he says that the car uses a special coilover kit that’s been developed by YSR, unlike other builds that use air suspension. Impressively, it’s claimed that as a result of this, the typical air suspension issues are absent, and the ride quality is like any other modern sports car, stiff but not uncomfortable. All that, plus a rebuilt 4.3-liter V8 and many upgrades make this a fine car for someone who wants the only one of something available in the automotive scene.
