Intro1988 BMW M3, Cinnabar Red (code 138) over black Bison leather interior, 71,962 miles. The E30 M3 was developed as a homologation model for Group A touring car racing and became the winningest touring car of its era. Clean, original, examples like this one have become the benchmark collectible of the modern BMW world. The provenance here is exceptional: the previous owner (15 years) has owned three E30 M3s and kept this one as the long-term keeper, serves on the Executive Board of the BMW Car Club of America, is a Chief Instructor for HPDE, and is the person who originated the Legends of the Autobahn, the premier U.S. BMW concours held annually during Monterey Car Week where this very car took 1st Place in the E30 M3 class. Despite the seller's instructor credentials, this M3 has never been used for track events. It has been stored in a clean, dry California environment, maintained, and run periodically. The current seller purchased it in July 2026 and is reluctantly selling it. The original factory wheels and center caps are included with the sale. It has a clean Carfax, a clear title and is in California.&nbsp;ExteriorThe car is finished in factory Cinnabar Red and presents with an original, shiny patina. The seller believes the paint to be original throughout, with the sole exception of the rear wing, which has been refinished. All body panels are intact, correct, and retain their factory VIN tags, with consistent panel fit and body lines, and all E30 M3-specific exterior components such as the box flares, raised trunk deck, and unique glass and panels that separate the M3 from a standard E30 are present. The car currently wears Style 5 BBS wheels, with the original factory wheels and center caps included in the sale. The suspension has been upgraded with H&amp;R springs and Bilstein shock absorbers.&nbsp;InteriorThe interior remains well preserved and consistent with the mileage. The car is fitted with a new BMW original steering wheel that has been custom leather-wrapped in Germany by a well-known leather expert; the original vinyl-wrapped steering wheel is included with the sale. Upholstery, trim, and interior surfaces present well, and all primary instrumentation and controls are present and functional.&nbsp;MechanicalsIt has the S14B23 2.3-liter DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder, BMW Motorsport's four-cylinder built on the M1 and M635CSi's twin-cam architecture producing 192 horsepower at 6,750 rpm in U.S. specification, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission driving the rear wheels through a limited-slip differential. The car runs and drives properly. Maintenance has been handled by two well-known personal mechanics in California with deep familiarity with the E30 M3 platform. Recent service includes a transmission service, differential service, oil service, and replacement of the brake master cylinder.&nbsp;Seller CommentsThe previous owner had this car for over 15 years and maintained it throughout that time. Aside from the noted wheel and suspension updates, the car remains highly original, retaining its original paint except for the refinished rear wing. It is presented in excellent condition and is well known within the BMW Car Club of America community. He has owned three E30 M3s, and this example was kept as the long-term keeper. The car has been retired from being shown since earning its awards, and has been stored in a clean, dry California environment, maintained, and run periodically.&nbsp;ImperfectionsThe previous owner stated that there is a small blister of rust on the sunroof top. It’s small but would need refinishing to be unblemished.&nbsp;The front spoiler has normal rash, the side skirts are original without clear coat.&nbsp; Additional Seller CommentsAwards include 1st Place, E30 M3 Class, at Legends of the Autobahn, and the People's Choice Award at SoCal Vintage. This E30 M3 is offered with long-term ownership, known maintenance history, limited mileage, strong originality, tasteful upgrades with the original components included, and documented enthusiast recognition.

Intro2001 BMW (E46) M3 Convertible, Jet Black over Black Nappa Leather with a black soft convertible top. It has the S54 engine mated to a 6-speed manual showing 106,237 miles. The seller has owned this car since 2010 and is believed to be the third owner. The seller states no known accidents, it has never seen snow and comes with a clean title in hand. The seller describes it as excellent condition inside, out, and underneath, and is selling only because garage space is needed for other vehicles. Seller notes the car has an intermittent check-engine light reading a catalytic converter fault code; The car is in Minnesota.&nbsp;ExteriorThe exterior is Jet Black with a black soft convertible top. The E46 M3 features flared bodywork, power dome hood, and chrome quad exhaust. The front bumper was replaced with a new OEM unit after a previous owner's front lip left mounting holes in the original; the rear bumper is the original OEM part, repainted after a rear diffuser was removed to return the car to stock appearance. The seller updated the lighting with angel-eye headlights and smoked LED front signals, side markers, and rear signals. The car rides on 2003-style OEM 19-inch M3 wheels in place of the original 18” s wrapped in General GMax tires 225/40 ZR 19 front and 255/35 R19 rear.&nbsp;InteriorThe interior is upholstered in Black Nappa Leather with black accent trim. All gauges work and there are no dead pixels in the dash. Seller notes driver side bolster is coming apart at the seam.

Seller states an intermittent check-engine light shows a catalytic converter efficiency fault; mechanics have inspected the car and found no signs of an actual catalyst problem, and the seller suspects aging O2 sensors. The rod bearings, Vanos and cooling system are original.&nbsp;Seller CommentsBeautiful condition, well taken care of since I bought it in 2010. The car is pretty much stock with some minor lighting upgrades to improve the look, and the trunk has a custom amp and subwoofer system. The car has never seen snow. It has 2003 OEM 19-inch M3 wheels rather than the 18-inch wheels it came with, for an enhanced look: I'm selling because I'm running out of garage space.

Intro2014 Porsche Cayman S (981), White (paint code 0Q) over black interior, 7-speed PDK, 18,540 miles, offered by a seller the BMW CCA National President Emeritus and creator of the Legends of the Autobahn concours. The 981 Cayman S represents the last of the naturally aspirated 3.4-liter flat-six Caymans before Porsche moved to turbocharged four-cylinders. This car is completely stock and optioned with Standard Leather Interior, Sport Chrono Package Sport and Sport Plus, 7-speed Porsche PDK, Sport Seats Plus, Sport Design Steering wheel and Carrera platinum 20” satin wheels. The seller has owned it approximately 2.5 years, keeping it in a clean, dry California environment, covered, on a battery tender, and exercised periodically in fair weather only. Seller states it has a clear title and is in California&nbsp;ExteriorThe car is finished in factory White (0Q) and presents with an as-new finish. The seller reports no dings or dents and states the paint is original throughout. All body panels are described as perfect, retaining their factory VIN tags where applicable, with consistent panel fit and body lines. It wears the optional factory Porsche Carrera wheels in Dark Platinum mounted with the OEM Michelin Pilot Sport tires, which the seller notes have very few miles on them.&nbsp;InteriorThe interior is upholstered in black Standard leather interior with Sport seats and Sport Chrono Package. It has the Porsche Sport steering wheel with PDK shift paddles, wrapped in leather. Seller states all controls are present and functional.&nbsp;MechanicalsThe 981 Cayman S is powered by a mid-mounted 3.4-liter naturally aspirated flat six producing 325 horsepower at 7,400 rpm and 272 lb-ft of torque mated to a 7-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission driving the rear wheels. Factory rated 0–60 mph in the mid-four-second range. Maintenance during the seller's ownership, though minimal given the low mileage, has been performed by a well-known Bosch-trained mechanic in California with over 50 years of experience and familiarity with the Cayman platform. Recent service includes a PDK transmission check, differential check, and oil service.&nbsp;ImperfectionsThe seller states that there are no known imperfections&nbsp;&nbsp;Seller CommentsThis mature seller has owned the car for approximately 2.5 years and maintained it during that time. Although I am a Chief Instructor for HPDE, this Cayman S was not used on track while helping with events. The car is kept in a clean, dry California environment, maintained, covered, on a battery tender with a Porsche-labeled battery, and run periodically for fun and maintenance, but only in fair weather. I now own three Porsche models and three BMW models, and this car was meant to be the long-term keeper.&nbsp;

Intro2001 BMW Z3 3.0i Roadster, Steel Gray Metallic over Black Classic leather interior, black soft convertible top, owned by seller (5th owner) since 2014. It has the desirable 3.0-liter M54 inline six mated to a 5-speed manual transmission and shows 92,213 miles. This car was found in 2010 after a nationwide search by the seller's close friend, who had always wanted a Z3 in exactly this color and configuration. When that friend passed away, the seller purchased the car from his estate in 2014. It is now offered on Collector Chassis only because the seller is downsizing his collection. The Carfax reports front end damage in 2007. It has a clear title and is Virginia.&nbsp;ExteriorThe exterior is Steel Gray Metallic with a black convertible soft top, integrated fog lights in the front and dual chrome exhaust tips in the rear. Seller states the car is in excellent condition with only a few minor stone chips, is virtually rust-free and retains the original soft top still in very good shape. It has staggered 17-inch alloy wheels 17x7.5” in the front with 225/45 ZR17 tires and 17x8.5” wheels in the rear with 245/40 ZR17 all wrapped in Continental Extreme Contact tires. The last major service included new brakes, calipers and brake pads all around.&nbsp;InteriorThe interior is black classic leather with heated seats, BMW M Sport steering wheel, ski bag and Harmon Kardon Sound with BMW Business CD. It has wood accents on the console and automatic shift knob. All gauges work with no dead pixels.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MechanicalsThis 2001 Z3 3.0i is powered by the M54B30 3.0-liter (2,979 cc) DOHC 24-valve inline six with double VANOS variable valve timing, producing 225 horsepower at 5,900 rpm and 214 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 rpm. In a roadster weighing under 3,000 pounds, it is good for 0–60 mph in under six seconds, which is why the seller calls it a rocket ship. Seller states “as far as I can tell the car needs nothing” and has been meticulously serviced throughout its life.&nbsp;&nbsp;Seller CommentsI am downsizing my collection and the hardest car to give up will be my 2001 BMW Z3. A very good friend always wanted a Z3 and asked me to help him find one. We searched the U.S. for the right color and configuration and in 2010 we found this one. When he passed away, I couldn't let it go to anyone else, so I bought it from his estate in 2014. I have put more miles on it than any of my other collector cars. The Z3 is so much fun to drive, and the performance of the 3.0-liter inline six in such a light car makes this thing a rocket ship. I have had so much fun in this car that it will be sad to let it go, but my age makes this a necessity. I hope whoever gets this car will enjoy it as much as I did.&nbsp;Additional Seller CommentsThe Carfax shows five owners, but realistically two of those were selling dealers. The Carfax also reports one accident in 2007 in which the spoiler, radiator, and grille area were replaced. The seller states it was repaired perfectly and there are no visible signs of the past damage. The car is virtually rust-free, the underside is bone dry, and it has been serviced throughout its life. The A/C blows cold and the car is ready to enjoy.

Intro1988 BMW M3 purpose-built track car, bright yellow, built S14B25 EVO engine, welded-in full cage, prepared by PMR in New Jersey and campaigned for many years in BMW CCA Club Racing. The E30 M3 was BMW's homologation special for Group A touring car racing and went on to become the most successful touring car of its era, which makes a properly caged, race-prepared example like this one exactly what the chassis was born to do. This car has sat unused for the last eight years and will need a full fuel system cleaning before the engine is run again. The sale includes an extra Giken differential and four additional sets of wheels. True miles unknown, as the cluster was replaced with track gauges without an odometer. It has a clear title and is in New Jersey.&nbsp;ExteriorThe car was originally Henna Red and was repainted its current bright yellow when the roll cage was installed, giving it high visibility on track. As a purpose-built race car, the body wears the E30 M3's signature box flares, raised trunk deck, and aggressive aero that were homologated for competition. It has a 'J Stock' Suspension which is a modified Bilstein system popular with E30s in the 90s and early 00s. Please refer to the photo gallery for current condition of the paint and bodywork after eight years in storage.&nbsp;InteriorThe interior is race-prepared with a welded-in full roll cage. The factory instrument cluster has been replaced with a set of gauges configured for track use; no odometer was retained, so total mileage is unknown. It has racing seats, harnesses, fire system, kill switch, and removable steering wheel.&nbsp;MechanicalsThe engine is a built S14B25 EVO-specification motor — the 2.5-liter evolution of BMW Motorsport's 16-valve four-cylinder, versus the 2.3-liter unit this U.S.-market car left Munich with — running an Alpha-N engine management system with a Gruppe A oil pan and Gruppe A header. For reference, the factory S14B25 in the Sport Evolution produced 238 horsepower and built race motors typically exceed that. Power reaches the rear wheels through a manual transmission, and the car is equipped with a fuel cell. Important: the car has sat unused for eight years, and the seller states the complete fuel system must be cleaned before the engine is run again. The sale includes a spare Giken limited-slip differential and four additional sets of wheels. &nbsp;&nbsp;Seller CommentsThis E30 M3 was built by PMR in New Jersey and raced by the owner for many years with BMW CCA Club Racing.

It rides on staggered 19-inch front / 20-inch rear M Dual-Spoke style 930 wheels in Silver over M Compound brakes with red calipers.

Intro1972 BMW 3.0S EURO, 50,000 km (TMU), seller states rust-free, one quality repaint in original Baikal Blue, imported to the U.S. in 2023 from northern Italy. The E3 "New Six" sedan launched in 1968 as the 2500 and 2800, reestablishing BMW as a maker of large, fast, driver-oriented saloons, and the 3.0S arrived in 1971 as the top carbureted version. This European-market 3.0S spent its life in northern Italy before the current owner brought it stateside in 2023, and it has passed through three known owners including the seller. It has no air conditioning and no sunroof, which makes for a lighter, simpler, and more original car. This example is now offered for sale on Collector Chassis with a clear title. This car is in northeast Georgia and, in the seller's words, “is one of the best E3s anywhere”.&nbsp;ExteriorSeller states the body is rust-free, which is the single most important thing to know about any E3. The car has received one quality repaint in its original factory color, Baikal Blue, a period metallic that suits the long, clean lines of the Paul Bracq-influenced sedan. As a European-market car, it retains the slim chrome bumpers rather than the heavy U.S. impact bumpers, preserving the correct proportions of the design. There is no known accident history. Please refer to the photo gallery for detail of the paint, brightwork, and trim.&nbsp;InteriorThe cabin is the E3's classic driver-focused layout with a full set of round instruments in a padded, crack-free dash. All gauges are reported to be working. New front seat belts have been installed. The car was ordered without a sunroof and without air conditioning. The velour/vinyl interior color is Sandbeige Tan with wood trim accents, and period radio. Glove box includes correct owner’s manual.&nbsp;MechanicalsPower comes from the BMW M30 3.0-liter (2,985 cc) single-overhead-cam inline six with twin Zenith 35/40 INAT carburetors, rated at 180 horsepower (132 kW) at 6,000 rpm and 188 lb-ft (255 Nm) of torque at 3,700 rpm in European tune. It is mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. The seller reports the engine runs well and burns no oil. The odometer reads ~50,000 km but total mileage is unknown. The suspension has been completely refreshed with new Bilstein shocks and larger performance sway bars, and the brake calipers have been rebuilt within the last two years. The E3 came from the factory with four-wheel disc brakes, MacPherson strut front suspension, and semi-trailing arm independent rear suspension, which is why these cars still drive so well today.&nbsp;Seller CommentsThis is a Euro '72 3.0S, imported to the U.S. in 2023 from a collector in northern Italy. It is rust-free and has had one quality repaint in the original Baikal Blue. Total mileage is unknown, but the engine runs well and burns no oil. Suspension has been totally refreshed including new shocks and large sway bars. No A/C or sunroof. Includes complete toolkit with correct tools. Selling only because I am out of storage space. One of the best E3s anywhere.&nbsp;Additional Seller CommentsThree known owners including the seller. Work completed in the last two years includes rebuilt brake calipers, new shocks, performance sway bars, and new seat belts. Modifications are limited to the shocks and sway bars. No known crashes. All gauges work. As a European-market 1972 car imported under the 25-year rule, it is exempt from federal EPA and DOT requirements; state emissions-testing rules for vehicles of this age vary, and buyers should verify the requirements in their own state.
