Would you leave the factory graphics on, or make it look completely stock?

BMW stripped away the extras and focused on what mattered most: performance. The 1995 BMW M3 Lightweight featured the high-revving 3.0-liter inline-six, reduced weight through aluminum panels and deleted equipment, and came finished in Alpine White with distinctive Motorsport graphics. Produced in limited numbers for the U.S. market, it remains one of the most desirable E36 models ever built.

Jaguar E-Type or 1963 Corvette?

Powered by Jaguar's legendary 4.2-liter inline-six, it delivered effortless performance wrapped in one of the most elegant designs ever produced. Even today, few classics turn heads quite like this British icon.

Would you take an Alfa Spider over an MGB or Fiat Spider?

Finished in Maserati Azzurro Argentina and powered by a 1595cc inline-4 with a 5-speed manual, this award-winning roadster sold for $22,000 at Mecum Las Vegas.

If you could own one iconic 1980s performance car, would this be your choice?

Before electronic driver aids and computerized performance systems, speed demanded skill. Powered by a turbocharged 3.3-liter flat-six and backed by a 4-speed manual transmission, the 1983 Porsche 930 Turbo delivered an experience that rewarded confidence and punished mistakes. The slant-nose conversion only adds to the aggressive personality that made these cars icons of the 1980s.

Would you keep the Ceylon Gold color or repaint it?

With its slim pillars, graceful roofline, and balanced proportions, the E9 coupe remains one of the purest automotive designs of the 1970s. Finished in its original Ceylon Gold over Beige color combination, this one-owner 1972 BMW 3.0 CSi Coupe represents the era when BMW earned its reputation for building cars that were as rewarding to drive as they were to admire.
