Market Find: 1997 BMW M3 Sedan in Morea Green over Tan
Here's one very unique E36-generation BMW M3 sedan in rare Morea Green. According to the seller, it is one of three sedans produced in this color and one of just 17 units worldwide.
Market Find: 1997 BMW Z3 in Dakar Yellow over Red
Affordable and unique is a great way to describe this low mileage early Z3 Roadster. While Pierce Brosnan was debuting the car in a James Bond movie that year, the Dakar Yellow example you see here appears to have gone all-in on a McDonald's theme.
Market Find: 1997 BMW M3 Sedan SMG in Techno Violet
Say you're looking for a well-kept E36-era BMW M3 sedan and you don't enjoy driving manual, or maybe it just doesn't matter and you want to purchase the most car for your money.
EU Market Find: 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S in Aventurine Green over Green
Aventurine Green was a standard color for the 993-generation Porsche 911 in 1996. Left on that alone, this car would be cool in desirable widebody Carrera 4S specification, but it wouldn't qualify as tailored. However, it's once you open the door that you realize how special this car is.
Market Find: Gulf Blue E36 M3 Coupé on Bring a Trailer
Though not an uncommon color by any stretch, we can't say we've ever seen Gulf Blue on a BMW before. Worth noting then, the car you see here isn't some über rare BMW Individual build but rather an extensive respray.
Market Find: 1997 Range Rover Vitesse in AA Yellow
In 1997, Land Rover made a limited run Range Rover 4.6 HSE Vitesse editions. 250 were built, in either red or yellow. The high-impact yellow, as you can see here, is known as AA Yellow. It was paired with Ash Black leather.

Tailored Driver strives to be of the people and by the people. So while it'd be really easy to just post blank-check Porsche GT variants all day long, we'd rather dig in the proverbial crates for stuff you can actually attain. The latest example of that is this E36 316ti, finished in Santorini Blue and currently on offer for a scant €2,100.
Market Find: Brumos Delivered One-of-One Purple 993 Turbo S Goes Sealed Bid with RM Sotheby’s
As measured by its Viola Metallic paint, this Porsche 911 Turbo S delivered new to Brumos Porsche is one of just three U.S. market cars to get this color. Now pair it with its unique interior specification and it is believed to be one-of-one.
Market Find: 1997 Porsche 911 (993) Turbo in Slate Grey Selling with Broad Arrow at The Amelia
If Porsche Club of America’s Rennbow color archive is accurate, Slate Grey Metallic wasn’t a standard color on a 1997 911 Turbo (type 993). Rennbow has it down as offered to 1995, then returning in 1999. If true, that would make the car you see here technically a Paint to Sample specimen. Broad Arrow, the auction house planning to sell it this weekend during the concours weekend at The Amelia has it listed simply as “rare”.
EU Market Find: 1997 BMW 750i with BMW Individual Blue Leather

Want luxury? The BMW Individual Blue interior on this E38 has no shortage of it, from the Lay-Z-Boy style front buckets, to the center console mounted telephone, and the certainly very out of date Navigation/Cassette player combo. Love internal combustion? Great- twelve cylinders mean fuel will combust internally quite often.
