The E34 M5 Touring brings back truly fantastic memories. I recollect many family holidays to Cornwall and attending race meets here and abroad, loaded to the brim with luggage, kids and the dog in these 340 bhp super estates. When my wife announced to me at 2am that she had gone into labour with Zak, it was an Avus blue ...

Not just does this offer include a holiday in Cyprus’s finest and newest 5 star hotel, this extraordinary, as new, 819 mile, Valencia Orange 1M is thrown in with this unique holiday deal. This is a quite ...
We are often offered E36 M3s for stock and they are usually sent packing. They just do not meet our strict criteria. Like all cars they go through that stage of life when value tends to attract the hooligan. Now, there is a touch of the automotive hooligan in me but my cars are beautifully cared for. Sadly, most E36 ...
So why Macao Blue? The colour was named after the famous street race circuit that hosted so many legendary battles that saw the E30 M3 triumph on many occasions. Only a handful of guys have managed the transition from two wheels to four with any success. Johnny Cecotto is one of them. His career started in his home ...
For a long time now we have been struggling to supply E28 M5s to an ever growing list of customers keen to get their hands on BMWs ultimate super saloon. With only 187 European right hand drive examples built, demand massively outstrips supply. The remaining superb examples are now mainly locked away in long term ownership ...
The 911 was already 21 years old in 1984 and believed by many to be out of date and old fashioned. The factory effort was focused on developing the 924, 944 and 928 but thanks to an army of devoted 911 customers, a vociferous dealer network and new board member Helmuth Bott, the legendary 911 model was saved from the scrapheap ...
At Classic Heroes we are noticing that the enthusiasm for the E30 Convertible is constantly growing and the demand for quality unmolested cars is continuously out stripping the ability to supply. We are always pleased to see an old friend return to us for sale, this one in particular as falls into one of the very best ...
Luxury GT or Sports car? The fact is that the 840 Ci did both exceptionally well especially when blended with the Sport pack. The car truly was an awesome all rounder. A stunning long distance GT car that still gave the enthusiast owner an exciting sporty drive. Very clever really and I don’t think any of us realised ...
We simply could not turn this one away. Its not an M3, its not an Alpina but it did take our breath away. The lady that owns the car is a great friend of one of our very oldest customers. He tipped us off about the car and asked if it was of interest. To be honest, I was not taking the conversation that seriously ...
Enthusiasts will debate for decades to come which M3 was the best. Any of you that know me will be aware that my roots date back to the revered E30 M3. I grew up with them and love homologation specials with competition pedigree. That said, one would argue that the E46 M3 will go down in the history books as the most ...
Just 524 right-hand-drive examples of the E24 M635 CSI were built between 1985 and 1989, and even today the M635 CSI offers an unrivalled blend of exclusivity, build quality,practicality and effortless continent crossing performance. The touring capability of these superb coupes still impresses today. An excellently appointed ...
The designation “Highline” introduced by BMW during 1987, even by 1980s extravagance, could not be exaggerated. It took BMWs awesome, high performance flagship GT car to new heights in luxury. Every possible part of the interior was trimmed in BMWs highest specification of leather. The headlining, sun visors, pillars, ...
The 850 CSI is still considered by many as the last true Bahn storming, low volume, BMW M built GT Car. Only 160 of these very special and highly expensive cars were built over a 3-year period in right hand drive. It is as close as we got to the M8 with BMW having canned the M8 after the production of just one prototype. ...
Despite being born in a digital age and equipped with the many digital tools our modern, busy lives demand, the 1M retains that true analogue feel that the old school motoring enthusiast still craves. BMW fully succeeded in delivering this. Simplicity was the key. Rear wheel, drive, front engine, proper manual gearbox ...
The Sport Evolution (Evo 3) was the final homologation and the most advanced version of the already highly successful E30 M3. Six hundred Sport Evolutions, or EVO III’s as they are sometimes known, were built Worldwide between December 1989 and March 1990. Available only in Brilliant Red or Jet Black, they were powered ...
A very exciting opportunity has arrived in the form of this E30 M3 Ravaglia, one of only 25 Ravaglia’s that were built for the UK. The Ravaglia featured the engine from the Evo 2 but was installed with a catalytic converter, hence the 5 bhp reduction to 215bhp. The engine cam cover and the plenum chamber where painted ...
It’s only with the benefit of hindsight you can see how truly special the E46 M3 CSL was and still is. It’s only when you fit yourself snuggly in the Recaro seats and place your hands on the alcantara trimmed wheel do you get an inkling of what a beast this car still is. The modifications required to earn an M3 ...
Sitting in the driver’s seat of any E9X M3 variant for the first time, immediately takes you back to your youth. When a bulge in a bonnet raised eyebrows and caused you to drool and ponder what lurked under the hood. Back then it was usually a bank of thirsty Webers or a fuel guzzling Holley Double Pumper. Today a large ...
During the late 1980‘s and early 1990‘s Italy and Portugal levied a large luxury car tax on any vehicle over 2 litres. As a result, the E30 325 and the M3 were heavily penalised. This market peculiarity gave birth to a unique, rare and inspired car. The 1990cc 320is was an elegant solution which gave an affordable ...
The E30 M3 requires no introduction to the motoring enthusiast. It has the finest competition history of any tin top racer and will go down in the record books as the single model to have won more international race, rally and hill climb championships than any other car. Driven by legends like Stuck, Cecotto, Ravaglia, ...
The first generation of BMW 4 series was launched in 2013 and proved very popular across the US and European markets. They were produced in 2 door coupe, convertible and 4 door GT. The range had varying engine formats covering both petrol and diesel, from 3 cylinder to straight 6, single and twin turbocharged units. In ...

Despite being born in a digital age and being equipped with many digital tools, the 1M retains that true analogue feel that the old school motoring enthusiast still craves. BMW fully succeeded in delivering this.? We live in an era of hands free dialing, touch screen control and flappy paddles. The 1M with its 6 speed ...
We are thrilled to be in a position to offer this very rare E36 M3 GT for sale. The car must not be mistaken for the 50 cars produced for BMW GB with the GT designation. The 50 right hand drive cars produced for the UK market where badged engineering. They had only the cosmetics details of the true M3 GT and painted ...
Unique. Fascinating. Brutal. Unprecedented. Head-Turner. Beautiful. Just some of the words that over time have been used to describe BMW’s extravagant, 400 BHP, all aluminium Z8 roadster. Its flamboyant entrance to the model lineup in 1999 certainly turned heads and guaranteed its place as one of the most fascinating ...

The modifications required to earn an M3 a CSL badge are legion. Alongside that engine and all the carbon fibre comes revised suspension, modified brakes, quicker steering and a paddle-operated gearbox capable of swapping one cog for another in 0.08sec or, to put it another way, three times faster than you. Inside, racing ...
Isn’t it funny, when we buy a new car the last thing we spare little or no thought for are the accessories it comes with. Over the years, kids pilfer them to repair their bikes, never to be returned or, we use, abuse and lose them with not a care in the world. But as time rushes by and our pride and joy transitions ...

When BMW Motorsport shoe-horned the 3.5 litre 220bhp engine from the ‘Six’ and ‘Seven’ Series into the lighter more compact ‘Five’ they created a sports saloon that cast the mould for all future Motorsport models…understated excitement. The first generation M535 (E12), launched at the Frankfurt Show in 1979, ...
1971 saw Intel release the World’s first Microprocessor, Apollo 14 returning to Earth, Cigarette advertisements banned from TV and Mercedes-Benz launch the production of the luxury grand touring range, the R107 SL & C107 SLC. The R107 (SL) was a 2 seater convertible roadster with the option of having a foldable rear ...
When the handsome and sophisticated E39 5-series was launched, a suitably large injection of performance and attitude was required. To create this third generation of M5, BMW didn’t disappoint with the technological marvel that was the S62 V8 – 4.9 litres, 48 valves, 400bhp, 7000rpm red line, 369lb ft of torque at ...
We are thrilled to offer what must represent one of the very best examples of Aston’s brilliant V8 Vantage currently on the market. With only 21,000 miles from new and full Aston Martin service history, service pack and warranty (both transferable to the new owner). Only 21,000 miles 3 Previous Owners Six Speed ...
We have available a 3.0 CSI that requires total restoration. The chassis number is 4350144 and is matching numbers. The car was stripped to a bare shell and the owner then became too sick to continue with his restoration. The car is a complete stripped kit but will need and 100% full restoration. The car does ...
The BMW M coupe always had a lot to live up to. Conceived by five engineers working overtime and undercover, it set out to be a no-holds-barred return to the enthusiast-focused philosophy upon which BMW once built its reputation. Back in 1998 this was the car for those who found the M3 too soft, too understated, and the ...
Wow! We are often offered E36 M3s for stock and they are usually sent packing. They just do not meet our strict criteria. Like all cars they go through that stage of life when value tends to attract the hooligan. Now, there is a touch of the automotive hooligan in me but my cars are beautifully cared for. Sadly, most ...
It was hard to believe Alpina would be able to further enhance the already staggering performance of BMWs twin turbo charged, 3.0 litre, straight six engine. Not just increase its performance, but keep that wonderful Alpina trademark usability. Well they did it! The Alpina B3 Bi-Turbo is a true Jekyll and Hyde. Amazing ...
So why Misano Red? The colour was named after the beautiful Italian race circuit and reserved for use on only Evo 2, Cecotto and Ravaglia M3s. Only a handful of guys have managed the transition from two wheels to four with any success. Johnny Cecotto is one of them. His career started in his home country of Venezuela ...
Permed hair, shoulder pads, rolled up jacket sleeves and sweaters draped over your shoulders all point squarely to one unforgettable decade - the 1980's. A moment in time so vilified from the moment Big Ben ushered in the 1990's, is now looked back on as a time which was fun, experimental and actually pretty cool. Who ...
The game changing introduction of the Mark 1 Golf is the stuff of legends. It surely must have been one of those moments when VW’s competition woke up one morning, scratched their heads and asked….Who stole our goalposts? The influence of the GTi’s introduction was massive and in many ways it is still being felt ...
After 5 happy years, it’s time for us to say goodbye to our much cared for BMW E70 X5 4.0d M Sport. Like all the vehicles in our Collection, our X5 has been loved and cherished during every one of it’s 20,400 miles. Ordered and specified by ourselves via BMW Park Lane, our X5 has a full BMW service history and also ...
An Alpina is all about the ultimate in performance, refinement and, of course, luxury and the one question we always ask ourselves when we get any Alpina into the collection is ‘What more could you want in an everyday car?’ A real Jekyll and Hyde as and when the mood demands. This exceptional Alpina B3S Convertible ...
