Bracq Friday might’ve technically been yesterday, but when a turbocharged relic from BMW’s boost-mad early Eighties shows up, the calendar doesn’t matter. Feast your eyes on this BMW 320is Callaway Turbo, an honest-to-goodness numbered car (#46) from the era when Reeves Callaway was turning mild-mannered German coupes into fire-spitting autobahn slayers. Under the hood sits […]
It is Black Friday today, but instead of fighting over marked down tennis shoes at our local Shoe Barn we’re going to appreciate the crisp surfacing, slim pillars, and effortlessly classy proportions that Paul Bracq baked into BMW’s first 3-series (Bracq Friday). And this 1978 BMW 320i looks like it’s been hiding in a time […]
The E38 generation BMW 7-series has earned a cult following because it represents peak old-school BMW luxury before gadgets, bloat, and cost-cutting started creeping in, and this 2000 BMW 740i M Sport is the version everyone wants. The short-wheelbase 740i with the factory M Sport Package was BMW’s attempt to build a driver’s 7-series, with […]
Another day, another BMW 5er wagon…but this one has a special feature you don’t see on many BMW wagons in the USA…a clutch pedal!! This is the plus-sized greenhouse hero BMW never officially built, transformed from a sensible family hauler into a sharp-handling, manual-swapped bruiser with real enthusiast credentials. Under the hood is a refreshed […]
The E39 generation BMW 540i Touring is already one of the greatest family haulers ever built, and when you add the M Sport package, Sienarot red metallic paint, and a proper V8 up front, you end up with a wagon that accidentally outperforms half the sports cars at Cars and Coffee. BMW built only 27 […]
If you’ve ever wished BMW built a 7-Series for Formula 1’s Marlboro Team, your prayers (and maybe your lungs) have been answered. This BMW 760i short-wheelbase (non L) is one of just 54 V12 examples ever made—now reborn as the “smoke ’ em if you got ’em” edition. The seller claims to have trimmed nearly […]
This 2011 BMW 328i Sport Wagon (E91) is one of the rarest kinds of practical fun money can buy — a rear-wheel-drive long-roof that BMW somehow convinced accountants to build during the crossover onslaught. Now, if this were a manual, it would be the unicorn of E91s — only about 400 made that way for […]
The E32-generation BMW 7-Series was the last of the classically proportioned Bavarian flagships—big, square-shouldered, and blissfully untouched by Chris Bangle’s flame-surfacing future crimes. Designed under Ercole Spada and Hans Kerschbaum, it managed to look both stately and understated—like a diplomat who moonlights as a getaway driver. This particular 735i dials up the rarity with a […]
BMW made plenty of good sedans, but the E39 540i/6 is the sweet spot—an adult-sized hot rod with M5 vibes and a mortgage-friendly price. This one’s a Sterling Silver, Sport Package, three-pedal car with Shadowline trim, M-Pars, sport seats, and looks good in the photos. Clean title, just smogged, pulls hard, shifts clean—basically the “Ultimate […]
Every so often, the BMW gods toss something across the Atlantic that makes U.S. enthusiasts scratch their heads and mutter, “Wait, they made that?” Enter this BMW 325tds Touring, an E36 wagon powered not by the silky gas inline-six we all know, but by an M51 2.5L turbo-diesel six, paired to a 5-speed manual and […]
