When it comes to modern classics, also referred to as ‘Youngtimer’ models (cars originally made in the 1980s-90s, and early to mid 2000s), German brands have no shortage of favorites among classic car collectors and appreciators. Several can be found under the BMW brand, but one particular model that has gained appreciation even as a more than 30-year-old car as of 2026 is the BMW E30, or as it is known now, the BMW 3 Series. Available in a variety of engine and body style configurations, the variant that is considered the best model in terms of long-term value and the most desirable out of all E30s available is the BMW E30 325i.
