Watching the European market for “young timers”, i.e. classics old enough to import but more modern than what you might think of as “classic”, the process can be incredibly fruitful when seeking what might be referred to as a tailored specification. Not only were there more color options in the standard palette and more obscure special editions, other services such as special paint and special wishes are also more commonly found.
In this case, we’ve got a reasonably priced BMW M3 Convertible. Painted Münich’s popular Techno Violet hue, that’s paired with a caramel colored beige interior for a handsome final specification.
On the downside, the interior is showing wear. Interior shots also reveal it has the less sought-after SMG transmission. Even still, it’s reasonably priced, highly unique, a European specification with engine more powerful than the North American equivalent, and a year/make/model that’s on the rise in collector value.
