I love featuring random crazy kit cars and super well preserved malaise era boats as much as the next guy, but there are times when you’ve got to get back to basics when it comes to finding your “daily turismo”. Let’s rewind the clock to July 17th, 2012 when this little website was first launched, […]
The E30 generation BMW 3-series was available with a number of different body styles, including a 2-door sedan, a 4-door sedan, a 4-door station wagon, a 2-door convertible, and a 2-door pickup El Camino version…whoa….wait, what? I only wish that this was a BMW built thing, because the world needs more Utes. Find this 1986 BMW […]
This next car comes as a tip from Art C who writes: Hard to tell if its a diamond in the rough or a poorly polished turd. If it’s even somewhat sorted seems to be a great buy! That just about describes EVERY car I find on craigslist these days…but I digress. Find this 1988 BMW […]
BMW built an astonishing 2.5 million E30s in coupe, sedan, estate & convertible trim from 1982 through 1994. The ursprünglicher gangster BMW 3-series was a successful yuppy-mobile when new and has generated a significant cult following as a cheap, fun & reliable sports sedan…but don’t expect the prices of the sporty all-wheel-drive 325ix version with […]
Unless you’ve been hiding under an old BMW for the past few weeks, you probably have read something about the new 2019 BMW 3-series, and you may have caught that it launches without a manual gearbox option!?!? That’s it, I’ve had it — I’m never buying a new BMW again…oh…wait…I’ve never purchased a new BMW and […]
The E91 BMW was part of the E90/E91/E92/E93 generation of BMWs 3-series was introduced in the 2006 model year for the USA with a number of sweet sounding inline-6s. It was the last generation of BMW’s iconic compact executive sedan to use a conventional hydraulic steering assist (electric power steering = yuck!) and naturally aspirated […]
The E30 generation Chevrolet 325i was built only for the 1987 model year with an LT1 powerplant and German styling. Wait…that isn’t right. Except, it is right…allllll right. Find this 1987 BMW 325i LT1 offered for $3,000 in Woodland, CA via craigslist. Tip from Rock On! Somehow, someone managed to shove all of the necessary smog […]
Words and tip from DT regular Jeff G: So, one day, you’re minding your own business and driving down the highway in your late model supercharged CTS-V or turbo Porsche or whatever, only to be taunted by a primer grey, 30-ish year old Beemer…. 3 series at that. Because he at least took the time to […]
I could be biased, but nobody does stuff better than the Italians. While the rest of the world was living in animal-skin huts the Italians built the worlds oldest still functioning building (the Pantheon) out of stone. A few centuries later the Italians created what is certainly the most beautiful fine art ever conceived with […]
