Here at the Daily Turismo we prefer our ’70s classics to be in great shape, but often aren’t willing to pay the premium for perfect cars. We don’t mind a few cuts/bruises and our rides look more like Courtney Love than Kourtney Kardashian. However, today’s featured ride is much more trailer queen than trailer trash […]
The editors of DT spent some vacation this weekend in the pits of the Black Iron Racing’s low budget racer 24 Hours of Lemons team at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway. We apologize for the lack of regular updates on cheap cars, but with a wheel falling off the car, Exxon Valdez levels of fuel being spilled […]
The BMW E3 was the big daddy to the modern 5-series and packs a lot of cool into an affordable vintage package. Badged as the Bavaria and powered by torquey inline sixes, the E3 (and E9 coupe cousin) proved that BMW was a player in the luxury sport sedan market and today are very inexpensive […]
We’ve featured BMW Neue Klasse coupes in the past, but the previous listing was a disaster of titanic proportions – and literally titanic levels of rust/grime/barnacles covering every surface. Today’s feature is much more clean, this 1967 BMW 2000 CS Coupe found on kijiji in Toronto, ON, Canada and looks in remarkably nice condition for […]
The E36 BMW was sold as the ultimate yuppie transport from 1992-1999 and while its handling was always lauded as balanced and fun, it could never be accused of being fast in a drag race – even the ///M3 version. However, we think that shoehorning one of the worlds most tunable twin-turbo powerplants into a […]
We at the Daily Tursimo have not hidden our love of depreciated BMW M-cars, particularly the brutal M5 sedans and our favorite is still the E28. Its easy to like the E28 because its an honest car – it doesn’t try to confound the driver with electronic wizardy like traction control or electronically controlled dampers […]
As we prepare to consume large quantities of fowl (and foul liquor) today we would like to first and foremost wish all of our readers a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving. Be sure to properly lube and sharpen the blade on your chainsaw before carving the turkey and always remember to have a buddy holding your […]
Automotive blogs and magazines are known to sponsor race teams from time-to-time, such as a Touring Car team or a Time Attack Team but those are cohesive media organizations backed by conglomerates such as Source Interlink, and the Daily Turismo is a blog run out of a van down by the river. As a result we are starting […]
Oh no, not another BMW featured on the Daily Turismo, we can just see the comment section filling up with snarky posts such as: “Another BMW, you guys should go work for Car and Driver” or “You guys must have stock in BMW and why doesn’t the Corvette ever win the comparison tests!” Truthfully, we […]
The e21 (correction, E23 – DT regrets the error) generation BMW 7-series sedan was the uber-sedan labeled as 7 and is still a stately and cool today as it was from 1977 to 1986. The 735i model was powered by an inline 6 cylinder engine and boasted some serious gadgets and sophistication for the era, but was not available with […]
