Editor’s Note: We love scouring the internet for reasons to spend money we don’t have on cars we daydream about owning, and these are our picks this week. All prices listed are bid amounts at the time of publishing.
When it comes to buying modified used cars, it’s not very often the previous owners show any sort of restraint with upgrades or take into consideration that their ‘tastes’ may not line up potential future owners. Overzealous power and performance upgrades, gaudy body kits and paint jobs are all too common and can make what was once a fantastic car is now unbearable. But, when done right and in good taste, a little light modification here or there can actually highlight the best parts of a great car and make it even better. Here are five lightly modified German sports cars that manage to keep it classy.
1989 BMW 325is
What we like: The E30 3-Series wasn’t lacking in performance or handling for its day and can still hold its own. The minimal upgrades likely do a great job of enhancing the stock driving experience without going completely overboard.
From the seller: Now showing just under 152k miles, this E30 is described as largely stock with a handful of mild upgrades including M3 control arm bushings, a Z4 short shifter, and a Momo steering wheel.
Mileage: 151,617
Location: Port Charlotte, Florida
