BMW E36 M3

PRICE RANGE $15,000 - $30,000

I have to rank this M3 first because I bought one on exactly this premise: what is the most underrated but affordable classic car on the market? The original E30 M3 was not built in right-hand drive but they still command mostly six-figure sums. While the six-cylinder E36 is less pure in concept – because not designed as a race car first – it is wonderful to drive. Interestingly, the early 210 kW five-speed cars seem rarer than the 232 kW six-speed Evolution. range is $15K to $30K for a 1994-95 coupe.
