A new era is upon us. The BMW Z3 2.8 is officially a "collector"
What defines it as a collector in your state and doors that have any benefit

In MN it has to be at least 20 years old and you have to have another vehicle with a regular registration. Benefit is it's kinda cool (if you ask me, at least) and registration is a flat one-time $150 rather than an amount each year based on value of the vehicle.

Wow...I see the ride is due for a wash. Poor form on my part guys, should have cleaned it up before snapping the picture, but you get the point. Driving along river roads picks up a lotta bugs
Ive also heard insurance is much cheaper with a vehicle that is registered as a collector, however that the miles you can drive are limited by the insurance company (not sure if this applies to every company). One guy I know tells me that he just switches out the odometer to trick the insurance company. I would personally never do this, but hey, to each his own.

In CO, it used to be 1982 or older. They've since changed the law to 32 years or older, but inspections go from annual to every five years. They also restrict mileage to 4500/year, but there is a nice break on insurance. If the car is 1975 or older with collector plates, no emissions inspection required ever again.

In NH we offer an antique plate for cars that are over 25 years old.
In PA it's 20 years, but you can't drive it more than a certain amount of miles. The big benefit is that you no longer need to get the car emissions tested, a ~$57 mandated requirement each year.
