Buy a classic BMW
Anyone looking to buy a classic BMW wants more than mobility – they want character, engineering and a provider they can trust. On Kickdown you will find curated BMW classics in online auctions, from the E9 coupé and the E24 and E30 to the E46 and Alpina models. Every BMW auction is editorially prepared, professionally photographed and supported by a personal contact. Buyers and sellers are verified, and the process runs in German or English – regardless of location. The sheer variety of BMW models makes the classic-car market especially interesting, because every generation has its own following and its own collector's value. Whether a rare coupé or a sought-after Touring – on Kickdown older BMWs regularly find new owners.
When is a BMW a classic?
By the classic definition, a BMW classic is a vehicle of the brand that is more than 30 years old. This includes the E9 coupé, the 6-series E24, the 3-series E30 and the refinements by Alpina. What do you need such a car for? An older BMW is rarely driven daily; instead it is kept for Sunday drives, classic-car meets, a collection or as an investment. Buyers look above all at traceable previous owners, well-maintained substance and a complete service booklet.
How does a BMW auction on Kickdown work?
On Kickdown the price is set by genuine competition among exclusively verified bidders – transparent, fair and without fixed prices. The auction window runs seven to ten days, sellers benefit from market-appropriate final prices, and buyers bid comfortably from home – fully digital, without travel. Behind every auction stands Kickdown GmbH, based in Hamburg – run under German commercial law and set up in a GDPR-compliant way.
What does the full service for BMW classics include?

The auction texts are created by the Kickdown editorial team with correct model designations and complete equipment lists, and vehicle photos are taken professionally – sellers do not have to worry about a thing. Whether E9, E24, E30 or Alpina – every model is prepared to the same high quality standard. You can buy a classic BMW or sell your own classic – communication, contracts and support run fully in German or English and under German law.
