Rarest modern BMWs

[montoya1978]

I was wondering what would be the rarest modern day BMWs. Maybe from 1980-present. I guess production numbers would be a good place to start but i realize itd be hard to estimate how many of the older cars are still in running order. I guess if you guys just had some ideas to fulfill my curiousity. Thanks.

[///w3fl3x]

My guess would be e30 m3.

[B.Watts]

E30 M3 and the MCoupe

[I3uller]

The emphasize. A mint condition Euro E30 M3 EVO III. That is nearly non existent anymore. Imola on that biege interior on E36 M3's are pretty rare too.

[Mitch]

e36 1995 M3 LTW
e36 1994 325is M-technik

[Mitch]

E30 M3 and the MCoupe
More specifically rare an S54 MCoupe, and more so that that a 2002 MCoupe

[fritzintn]

LTWs, Alpina Z8s, and E34 M5 wagons are probably pretty similar in production numbers.

Anyone know how many E28 M5s were produced? M1s?

By comparision the E30M3 is common :)

[Phat Ham]

Wasn't there a 2.0 litre e30 sold only in Italy? It was pretty much an m3, but they used a smaller engine due to tax or emissions laws.

[///MZG]

e36 M3 :shifty

[thegman1234]

E30 M3 Cabrio. And i dunno about anywhere else, but i've never seen an e24 m6, and actually, i've only seen 1 e24 period, and I drove it lol.

[cgregory]

There were only something like 250 850CSi's imported to the US...I can't remember how many for the world, but they're very rare.

[G. P. Burdell]

Don't forget the Z1 roadster. 8,000 of them were made, but they're pretty rare in the U.S. They were not imported to the States during production because they were considered unsafe.

[fisherbln]

It's amazing how many of these rare cars I've actually had the opportunity to see. Ones listed so far that I haven't are the Alipna Z8, 2.0L E30 (does it exist?), and that's about it... fun to see such cars so often. :buttrock
Mine isn't nearly as rare, but uncommon nonetheless 4d M3 manual in estoril.

[madsedan]

Steel gray 95 M3
S54 M coupe
non-lux package 96 M3
E30 M3 vert
manual tranny 735il from the late 80's to early 90's

[madsedan]

fisherbln, I had a car almost exactly the same set-up as yours when I lived in Kansas City, mine was a 97 non-lux estoril M3/4 manual with Bilsteins/H&R's, UUC brake lines, OEM 95 LTW rims, euro clears, intake, etc...
I loved that car, wish I still had it.

Imola e36s were available for a few months, doesn't really count.

Dealerships didn't put Imola on their lists in 99, so people didn't know about it.

is this a real e46 m3 csl they sold?

Wtf, no, it says it has " factory csl front & rear bumpers ". Look at the boot.

[brahtw8]

From 1980 to present, I would say the following list is representative of 'rare' modern BMWs, at least in the US.

M1
E12 M535i (gray-market)
E28 M5
E24 M635csi/M6
E24 L6
E23 L7
E34 M5
E34 540i M-Sport
E31 850 csi
E36 M3 LTW
M Coupe

[Mitch]

www.bimmers-benz.com in queens has 2 for sale

They have an 850i and an 850Ci, but not the 850Csi. The Csi is to the M8 what the '94 325is M-technik was to the US M3

[SDbboy]

E39 M5 wagon

[sben]

m1 was the first thing to pop into my mind. Was it a production car?

Yes. 435 were produced.

[SierraNevada40]

everyone here is saying s54 m coupe.... but i believe bmw made more ///M versions of the coupe than regulars (first time in history). so, i'm going to go with z3 coupe 3.0

[fisherbln]

fisherbln, I had a car almost exactly the same set-up as yours when I lived in Kansas City, mine was a 97 non-lux estoril M3/4 manual with Bilsteins/H&R's, UUC brake lines, OEM 95 LTW rims, euro clears, intake, etc...

Thanks! I LOVE mine!

[Gregg]

Any BMW whos owner isn't a member here!

[cgregory]

Yeah, Z3 Coupes are rare, at least in the US.

[Effervescent]

M1
E12 M535i (gray-market)
E28 M5
E24 M635csi/M6
E24 L6
E23 L7
E34 M5
E34 540i M-Sport
E31 850 csi
E36 M3 LTW
M Coupe

Are those in order? Cause there was about 120 LTWs and ya gotta figure now there's under 100. Weren't thousand of M Coupes made?

-Eff

[RedNosePit]

I didn't think the E30 M3 was rare because I see them all the time here in San Francisco.

My vote goes to the M1

[brahtw8]

Are those in order? Cause there was about 120 LTWs and ya gotta figure now there's under 100. Weren't thousand of M Coupes made?
-Eff

The list is not in any particular order, although it did end up roughly chronological.

[coolfishy101]

I don't know about how rare the M1 is, but I've seen 2 different ones in a month. I'm in the U.S. too.

[Red Herring]

The first thing that popped into my mind was a z8 because the price is so high.

[IchLiebeBMW]

Id probably say the 850csi.

[thegman1234]

They have an 850i and an 850Ci, but not the 850Csi. The Csi is to the M8 what the '94 325is M-technik was to the US M3
o my bad, I wasn't really paying attention to the letters, just 8 series, but yeah you're right they don't have a csi.

[broady]

E23 BMW M7 (M88, South African 745i)

bmwmregistry.com/model_faq.php?id=4 (I can't post links)

192 built.

(and my dad owns one!)

[nickmpower]

I think there were only lilke 2000 4.6is's made

[fliplap]

The Alpina Z8 is the rarest BMW I've driven to date. Only 555 built.

Auto :shifty

[MaloventEvil]

batmobile?

[Juicy Double]

Nazca C2 - sure that counts:)

[Gregg]

M1 and we have a member with one.

[6i9]

Z3/M Coupes and any 8 series.

M1 is a given.

[ozbmw]

Production cars : M1 450 built
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a293/OZBMW/MOreSexonwheels.jpg
Limited Production run: E36 M3R only 15 built
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a293/OZBMW/M3R.jpg

[ozbmw]

Thats actually not correct Mitch. The 850CSi is the BMW Motorsport-developed version of the E31 8 Series coupe. It is powered by the S70 V12 engine, a BMW Motorsport-enhanced version the standard production M70 powerplant. In addition, the 850CSi features a BMW Motorsport-tuned chassis and several unique cosmetic items.
The 850CSi was introduced at the 1991 Frankfurt International Motor Show.
There were 1350 built in LHD and 160 RHD.
The M8 only existed in a prototype which had 550bhp, it was never produced.

[theruss1an1]

Didnt the US only have 150 m-technic 325's?

Id have to say the e36 m-technics, e36 m3r, and 850csi are top of my list. All under 200 produced. But I guess the m3r doesnt count since it was a australian car? And this is for the US BMWs. Z8 are rare too... except this guy has one around my area and I see it a few times a months. So that kinda takes the rareness out of it. The luxury 6 and 7 series from the 80's are pretty rare. How about the e30 325es? For those that were at bimmerfest do you remember the guy that had the imported e34 m5 wagon in the purple, forget what the color is called. Id say that makes it the rarest modern bmw in the states.

-Serge

[6i9]

Never heard of an M3R before. WTF?

[BuddaLun]

There were only 45 Euro M3's imported to Canada. (north america, close enough)

The M3R is SUPER rare too.

[Dej4y]

What about the e36 GTR Street edition

So rare you cant find pics on the internet only ever seen 1 for sale in the uk :buttrock

[Laxpunk2006]

Whats different on the M3R? I had never even heard of it before now. Good thread.:thumbup:

[HB ArAb]

ya seriously, what the heck is an M3R?

[Juicy Double]

how about the e46 M3 GTR Strassenversion?

[ozbmw]

What about the e36 GTR Street edition
So rare you cant find pics on the internet only ever seen 1 for sale in the uk :buttrock

The reason you havent seen them driving around is that ONLY 2 were ever made for road use. Not classed as a production version as these were made for two people as special orders.

The M3R:
In late 1994, BMW Australia ordered 15 special road-going E36 M3-R models to compete in the Australian Super Production series (GT Production class). Originally built as standard M3 models on the normal German production line, these cars were converted to M3-R specification by Frank Gardiner Racing in Australia and were all completed in March and April of 1995. All 15 coupes are painted Alpine White III (300) with an Anthracite M cloth/Amaretta suede interior, plus the following unique features:
-A retuned version of the 2,990-cc S50 B30 powerplant developed in conjunction with BMW M GmbH and Schnitzer Motorsport GmbH featuring different camshafts, revised intake and exhaust ports, a lightened flywheel and a dual-pickup oil sump (as used in the later S50 B32 motor) . With these changes, the engine was re-rated at 324 hp (DIN) at 7,200 rpm and 258 lb/ft of torque at 4,400 rpm.
-Stronger drivershaft from the E31 850Ci
-Shorter 3.23 final drive
-Reinforced AP Racing clutch
-Top speed limiter removed
-Stiffer BMW Group N springs and shocks
-Larger AP Racing front brake rotors with four-piston calipers, stock rear rotors with AP Racing calipers
-Adjustable front and rear GT spoilers with additional rear rubber lip extensions
-M cross-spoke alloy wheels, sized 7.5x17-inch (front) and 8.5x17-inch (rear)
-Fog lights delete
-Rear "M3" badge delete
-Air conditioning delete
-Radio delete
-Central locking delete
-Check Control system delete
-Non-functional rear seat
-Individually-numbered silver plaque under the parking brake handle

The ultimate sleeper E36

[theruss1an1]

^ Nice job :redspot

Id def. love to find one of those canadian euro m3's and take her home. I completely forgot about those.

-Serge

[theruss1an1]

how about the e46 M3 GTR Strassenversion?

Just a street version of the race car. BMW had to make them to run the v8's in the race e46's.

-Serge

[JB///M3]

There were only something like 250 850CSi's imported to the US...I can't remember how many for the world, but they're very rare.


Drove one...lol... and yes, rare as hell

[Dej4y]

E36 M3/4

BMW needed to get an edge in the european GT series and so it built 350 homologation special GTs. selling at 39,995GBP,they offered pretty good value over the standard 36,995GBP 3Litre and came with homologation papers confirming there eligibility in the series. They were officially known as the M3/4, Clarifying that this was the fourth BMW homolgation model

[drmattyg]

Nobody's mentioned the 745i turbo yet...not many in the us...

[Juicy Double]

-Serge
Yes I know that's what it is. But I would like to know how many were produced. I believe it's quite rare (200k sticker should help), but would like confirmation.

[JunkyardCorgi]

Nobody's mentioned the 745i turbo yet...not many in the us...

already mentioned twice, try again

Rarest bmw I can think of (here) is the 1600/2002 convertible, I only know of one stateside for sure, anyway.

Or how about a non-restored E9 without rust?

[HoJo]

318Ti Clubsport

[übermäßig M3]

Well if a 1600/2002 vert are mentioned, then how about a 2002 Turbo with reverse letters? Germany deemed it "too agressive" and halted the stock reverse letters. Talk about being banned!

And if a Nazca N2 is mentioned, then what about a McLaren F1!

Years ago there used to be a white E30 pickup truck conversion around town. I doubt it was production though!!!

I love seeing pics of 2002 turbos with the reversed "turbo" on the front. That's gotta mess with the driver ahead.

I know the M8 was never produced. Remeber that the '94 M-Technic had M brakes, suspension, styling, the works. It was an engine shy of being an M3. It was an M3 when you couldn't actually buy an M3 in the states.

[Hartge82H3]

Try finding a authentic E21 Hartge: now that's rare!

[Gusto]

Try finding a authentic E21 Hartge: now that's rare!
I was thinking the same thing. Are we only counting factory BMWs? what about the Hartge H50? Weren't they only making 6 of those a year?

[TrunkImpaired]

318Ti Clubsport

Just what I was thinking

1995 318ti Clubsport ~400 made
318ti California Edition - only made in 1996 (other years could get the roof, but not the package). also ~400 made. And these were only available in NA. For once we got something that Europe didn't (in a good way).

[JunkyardCorgi]

lol, I love that 2002,
damn-straight it's aggressive

[thegman1234]

I love seeing pics of 2002 turbos with the reversed "turbo" on the front. That's gotta mess with the driver ahead.
lmao i never knew about that. I just looked it up and it's backwards. Why would they do that?

[Mitch]

lmao i never knew about that. I just looked it up and it's backwards. Why would they do that?

To intimidate the drivers in front of you.

[LWRNCE]

Wannabe M3 318?

[thegman1234]

Wannabe M3 318?
lol, would be kinda funny to see a 318ti with an m3 emblem on the back

[lkwd318ti]

1995 318ti Clubsport ~400 made
318ti California Edition - only made in 1996 (other years could get the roof, but not the package). also ~400 made. And these were only available in NA. For once we got something that Europe didn't (in a good way).

I was about to post this too until I read your post.
I was also going to say 850CSi :D I got to sit in one lol.

The nazca is quite rarer than the McLaren, and although the F1 had the best engine in existence Period (bmw 12:D coincidence?) it didn't look like a bimmer, while the Nazca had the lights and kidney grill.

[Sform576]

what about an E30 touring? ive heard that there were none sent to the U.S. and there were none privatly imported. i dont have any numers or facts to support this, just hear say from a coworker. anyone know anything about this?

[6i9]

To intimidate the drivers in front of you.

The days when BMW was badass.

[flyeryan]

I know where one 850CSi is... and it saddens me everytime I think about it. I have a friend that lives in a little tiny town in Iowa. There's a guy in this town of about 1000 people with a CSi. Don't ask me how he got it, but I know it never sees a garage, detailing, care, and probably maintenence. I think my friend is going to offer to buy it from him at a ridiculously low price since I don't think he even knows how rare they are. It sucks whenever I see it parked in his yard. :(

[bellavus]

318Ti Clubsport
yes, and also probably the ti with a cali top.

[mose121]

E30 M3 EVO III
E36 M3 LTW
S54 M coupe
The most recent 6 series cars are pretty rare as well, as well as older M6's

[Juicy Double]

the new 6 isn't rare at all.

[5speed300]

Whats the california top on a Ti?
What about e30 M3 cabrio??

[bellavus]

Whats the california top on a Ti?
What about e30 M3 cabrio??
the e30 m3 cabrio i think was only produced for the european market. See my post above for the cali top ;)

[thegman1234]

technically the 1 series would be considered rare, being as its not sold in the U.S. market.

[cowboy bebop]

Have to agree that the 1993 NAZCA C2 is pretty rare, but since it was a "Prototype" does it really count?
still, 5.0L Alpina V12, just a hair over 2,200 lbs curb weight... DAMN!

[FierySphere]

I seem to remember reading that the 1602 *automatic* was rarer than the 2002 Turbo.
Of course, it was seriously less cool :)

I know ColdAccord has a white one in Buffalo. The e46 M3 GTR (Street) IMO, only 7 produced.

[Juicy Double]

True, but there are so many in europe it's not even funny!

[Lance Racing]

I spoke with a fellow from Chicago who owns an E30 Touring. He thinks there are a half dozen grey market Tourings in the country.

There are 2 E30 tourings in Vancouver BC. One of the owners brought the car down to our E30 Meet last August in Seattle. Very cool. BTW, they made 200,000 Tourings in Europe. The most rare was the E30 325ix Touring. That would be the most awesome snow car. :cool

[thegman1234]

True, but there are so many in europe it's not even funny!
yeah plus it comes in like 750 different trims levels its rediculous. (Well actually I believe its like 20 or 25 something like that, but that's still too many.)

[///M3///M5]

How many X5 4.8's are there?

I know it's a lot, but just wanted to know.

[JD886]

Only 150 of my car :)

Thats pretty rare if you ask me

[Vinny Fins]

LTWs, Alpina Z8s, and E34 M5 wagons are probably pretty similar in production numbers.

Anyone know how many E28 M5s were produced? M1s?

By comparision the E30M3 is common :)

1370 E28 M5's imported to North America (all black over tan)
30 to Canada (black over black)

01 s54 M-Roadster 1340

'02 S54 M-Roadster. 460 built (total production)

E24 M6. 1767 for North America

E30 M3 North America 5300

E34 M5 North America 1678

E36/7 M-Coupe S54 '01 & '02 690 total production

[montoya1978]

Interesting. I didnt realize that that few e34 M5s were produced.

[E34nication]

M1
E34 540i M-Sport
850CSI

[pigeon768]

Mine. It's the only one.

[thegman1234]

Mine. It's the only one.
what's so special about ur m3?

[Wiseguy ON]

Wasn't there a 2.0 litre e30 sold only in Italy? It was pretty much an m3, but they used a smaller engine due to tax or emissions laws.

Yes. Sold in Italy and Portugal. It's called the 320is, it has a 1996cc S14 in it, and to us looks like a n E30 325is. Available in 2 and 4 door versions!

[flipwils11]

1980/1981 E12 M535i
1410 produced, 800 in left hand drive. Approximately
20 in the United States.

[XanDer]

ive got a 94 mtech too...:redspot :alright

[ehlpitel]

1991 E30 318is w/ the m42 had decently low production numbers from what I remember.

[Effervescent]

Yes. 435 were produced.

The E36 M3 LTW is no doubt a very rare car with some neat
bits on it. I always thought it strange that it was only offered
in the United States.

I would counter by saying that there are probably 5X MORE
E36 LTW's in the US now than E12 M535i's.

Adam Wilson
www.e12m535i.com

[mrx381]

I'd say 333i Turbo, produced by BMW South Africa. I read about these a long time back when I researching on putting a turbo on my fathers 83 733i :)

http://www.njh.u-net.com/333.html

[flipwils11]

Another special, South African car. And another E12 Motorsport special.

The E12 530MLE. Only 201 were made, most parts on the car were drilled out to reduce weight, really neat car. A friend from the E12 list was thinking about importing one to the US for fun a few years ago.

The Motorsport stripes on these cars were an option on my E12 M535i that I am planning to add at some point (probably will have them recreated by a vinyl graphics place from photos I have to use as a reference).

how about my 87 325es BAUR? not sold in america, it was shipped over in 1990.

It's amazing how many of these rare cars I've actually had the opportunity to see. Ones listed so far that I haven't are the Alipna Z8, 2.0L E30 (does it exist?), and that's about it... fun to see such cars so often. :buttrock
Mine isn't nearly as rare, but uncommon nonetheless 4d M3 manual in estoril.

It really isn't that amzing. You saw two cars, one of which was an underpowered E30. :confused

Another SA car, my E30 325iS. Built to go group N racing;

Technically its an Evo 1, which means it a 3-5/1990 build date, less than 500 produced. That was including the ones used in racing, so very few still on the road i'd say.

There were Evo 2's and 3's, which are identical, but have differing build dates and chassis numbers 3/1991 and 5/1991. The Evo 2/3 didn't get the light alloys panels, but got an adj chin splitter, M30 AFM and throttle body, and a revised 3.91:1 LSD. Power went to 204hp, from the Evo 1's 197hp.

And the 2.0L E30 he's referring to is powered by a sleeved S14, which is dropping 190hp, 95hp/L back in 1988? Underpowered for sure.

2L S14 would still blow the socks off a 325i
