Used Sports Cars: BMW

The sports car has come a long way since the two-seater open tops of yesteryear.  A sports car in the modern world covers a range of makes and models, including saloons, 4x4s and super-minis.  One brand that makes some of the finest sports editions on the market is BMW.  The German giant has always been renowned for its premium saloons, but the Motorsport models of the 3Series and 5Series, the Z4, and the Z3, have really consolidated the company in the performance car category. Because of the BMW’s popularity, there are a lot of affordable used models that are readily available even for tighter budgets.  It would be wrong to presume you would never be able to afford a BMW due to a competitive second hand market and user friendly sites such as motors.co.uk.

The Z4 is one of the most elegant yet muscular designs on the market.  It hit the showrooms in 2003 so there could be a good stock of used models available on sites such as motors.co.uk.  The Z4 is everything a sports car should be – rear wheel drive, good weight distribution, and low driving position.  It exudes raw power.

The 3Series has become one of the most sought after cars on the modern market.  To call it a classic of our era wouldn’t be unfair.  The entire 3Series range offers top notch performance but the M3 Coupe is a particularly appealing offering.  It was produced between ’01 and ’06 so you can take advantage of cheap older versions.  Look out for great 3Series deals on motors.co.uk.

The Z3 ‘M’ Coupe went into production 13 years ago for a mere four years.  It’s another classic sports car, and with a few thorough searches you may well find a reasonable deal.

For a large performance/touring car, you may be enticed by the 5Series M5.  It came into production in 2005 so there should be some reasonable discounts available, although you will still have to shell out a healthy sum for the privilege.  Its sheer size and weight, combined with a 5litre V10 give it real road presence and stellar power.

BMWs are a popular car with a lot of used stock, so make it a first option when exacting your criteria on sites like www.motors.co.uk.
