The E28 M5 was the first generation of BMW’s world changing rocket-ship sedan. The M5 did to the 4-door sedan what the Pontiac GTO did for the 2-door sedan – set up a devastating formula for others to follow. The E28 M5 (only available stateside in 1988) packed the engine taken from the M1 supercar […]
The e24 BMW 6-series was a luxury coupe available in several trims; basic CSi, maniac M6 and luxury L6. When new the L6 cost almost as much as an M6 and combined the standard 635Csi automatic power-train with a supple full leather interior to create a US only cruiser for rich Americans. Today L6s are […]
The E34 BMW market (5 series from 1988-1996) is currently near its low point for price. The nice E28s are starting to appreciate and the E39 series still haven’t reach rock bottom, but we think that the E34s are currently in the weeding/crushing phase before the nice condition ones start to appreciate a few percent […]
We’ve said before that we really like BMW E36 M3s and we are going to continue preaching that line as long as they continue to be as affordable as dirt. Typically they have 150k miles and cost $5-8k, and some have upwards of 250k miles on them – which is a good thing because it […]
The E3 BMW was the sedan equivalent of the stunning BMW E9 coupe. If offered the same BMW handling, torquey inline 6s and great build quality, but with a back seat that can fit a human being. Unfortunately the flowing coupe lines are lost and the car looks quite a bit like an Alfa Romeo […]
We’ve featured a non-stock BMW 2002 in the past – but that one was a hacked up El Camino look-a-like Baur Targa -this time we found one much more pleasing to the eye. This 1976 BMW 2002 Restomod was originally a big bumpered 2002 – but has now been modified to resemble the Europe-only 2002 […]
The e24 BMW 6-series was a luxury grand tourer with a large trunk and colossal price tag. Only bankers, financiers, stock brokers and other criminals could afford them when new. It was a good car in standard 630/633/635 spec, but an absolute wolf in sheep’s clothing in USA M6 trim but an even faster M6 […]
We’ve posted plastic bumper E30 BMWs on the daily turismo in the past – because we love simple combination of rear wheel drive and manual transmissions in a light tossable car. Today they are fully depreciated and the only thing they lack from the factory is horsepower, unless the car has received an engine transplant. […]
The BMW E9 coupe was built from 1968 to 1975 -and was BMW’s premier offering in the sports coupe segment. The well known 3.0 CS & CSL are high value classics pampered in air conditioned garages – but this 1970 BMW 2800 CS with 4 speed transmission is living in a cardboard box down by […]
The e34 BMW 5 series was sold in the USA with multiple gasoline engines but the fuel efficient and torquey turbo diesels were not exported stateside due to the EPA limits in particulates and NOx. This 1990 BMW 524 turbo diesel (exported to Canada from Europe) is equipped with a 5 speed manual transmission and […]
