The BMW 745i Turbo is the dark grey-market version of the E23 7-series that BMW never officially sold in the United States, using a turbocharged big-six to give its flagship sedan the kind of Autobahn shove normally reserved for people with diplomatic plates and flexible expense accounts. Today’s example is offered from a seller who […]
This next car is a great example of my favorite word in the English language, El Camin….no wait, that’s not English. I’m talking about “depreciation,” which Webster’s dictionary describes as “noun – the process where a $100K car becomes affordable for DT readers and writers”. Oh yeah.

When I tell people that I publish a website called Daily Turismo, they cock their head sideways — like a puzzled golden retriever — and ask follow up questions. To describe DT, I use words like “curated collection” and “used car listing aggregator” to describe these hallowed pages. But the truth is, I should just send them this next car, because it describes DT in a way that is unequivocally precise; a mostly modern and supremely comfortable BMW 7-series with a salvage title and 144k miles on a 4.5 liter DOHC V8 that is offered for less than four large. Yes, it will have strange random issues that you’ll need to search on forums and videos for solutions…but you’ll end up smarter and better by the time you can afford a better car.

This past weekend I wrote up a E38 series and mentioned it’s shape seemed to be aging very well. The E65 7 Series that followed came with a polarizing new exterior design (then and now) and was the first BMW to use the also polarizing iDrive interior command center. This was a 80 some odd […]
The E65 generation BMW 7-series was the first generation of BMW’s plus sized luxury car to NOT be available with a manual gearbox anywhere in the world. It was unfortunate to see the manual shifter go, but the number of well heeled buyers who wanted to shift their own was very limited, so if you […]
If you pay attention on this website you might notice that we typically don’t feature cars that have been covered by any of the big players in the classic car blogosphere, such as Bringatrailer, Jalopnik’s Nice-price-or-crack-pipe by the always entertaining Graverobber (someday I’m going to hire that guy to write for this site!), autoblog, hooniverse, […]
The 745i was a turbocharged brute of a luxury sedan from BMW before it started building M-cars. It was only available in mainland Europe, so you can only get grey-market imports here in the USA, and price will be a premium. However, a few extra dollars gets you a 3.2 liter turbocharged inline-6 making 252 […]
The E21 BMW 7-series was a large upmarket sedan produced from 1977-1987. The hottest version (the 745i) was only available to continental European customers, but a few have immigrated to the USA. This 1985 BMW E21 745i Turbo Grey Market import is for sale in San Diego, CA for $3999 via craigslist. This small bumpered […]
