BMW M division’s first bruiser sedan was the 1988 BMW M5; they had previously dabbled in the M1 supercar and 4-cylinder powered E30 M3 but it was the E28 M5 that set the standard for a fast M-sedan. Multiple generations later that formula had outgrown its inline-6 roots and by the E60 generation the M5 […]
BMW’s E46 generation 3 series was sold from 1999 to 2005 and if you wanted the hot M3 version it was only available in 2 door trim. Folks with little kids or the desire for a sedan had to settle for a regular 3-series, at least until the ZHP came out in 2004. The ZHP added a […]
Continuing our appreciation for all things powered by a V12, we need to feature a BMW since they have long offered a V12 in sedans that have since depreciated to junk yard cheap levels. This 2001 BMW 750iL (e38 series) is powered by a V12 and for sale in Harker Heights, TX for $8500 via […]
For folks looking for a newer daily driver with sporty intentions you really can’t go wrong with the newest BMW 3-series. BMW has been cranking out these benchmark sporty sedans in huge numbers since 1975 and the next generation is always faster than the previous (albeit uglier and heavier.) This 2007 BMW 335i sedan with […]
We would like to dedicate this post to our appreciation of depreciation. Dictionary.com defines it as: de·pre·ci·a·tion [dih-pree-shee-ey-shuhn] noun 1. decrease in value due to wear and tear, decay, decline in price, etc. We define depreciation as this 2007 BMW 550i 6spd with original MSRP of more than $60k, now for sale at the Fiat […]
We at the Daily Turismo continue to profess our love of the E36 M3 for its handling, speed and low entry cost. This DT Flash entry stretches those assumptions a bit but we can’t help but be impressed by this car. Some creative lunatic took a 1997 BMW M3 and added a Corvette LS3 V8 […]
The Daily Turismo has posted BMW Neue Klasse cars in the past, but mostly plebeian BMW 2002 sedans (yes – they are sedans even with 2-doors because they have a b-pillar – the coupe has no b-pillar and a sexier rear window shape). It takes a prodigious accumulation of rust & rats inside an NK […]
We love finding V8 swapped rides for the Daily Turismo because they usually can be purchased for less than the price of the swap components with the labor thrown in for free. This 1987 BMW E30 325 sedan is no exception, with a Ford V8 & T-5 manaul trans, and is for sale asking $5k […]
We’ve featured the BMW 2002 in the past on the Daily Turismo because we like the rear wheel drive, manual transmissions and simple mechanical components of these lightweight two-door sedans. The previous one was a ‘restomod’ (restored and modified), but this time we found one a bit closer to stock but with a few key […]
The Isetta was originally designed and built by Italian refrigerator manufacturer Iso. Shaped like a small ice-box, the Isetta’s diminutive size and stratospheric fuel economy numbers made it an ideal city car and it was manufactured by various entities from 1953-1962. This 1958 BMW Isetta has seen some customization and needs additional work but is […]
