No Reserve Roundie: 1968 BMW 2002
This 1968 BMW 2002 is a desirable round taillight model, and seemingly a largely unrestored example offered at no reserve. These days, it’s hard to find a “roundie” that isn’t priced exceedingly high, despite the deep bench of later… more»
Rare Restoration Opportunity: 1974 BMW 3.0 CSI
This 1974 BMW 3.0 CSI may be one of the more desirable two-doors the company has ever made, but that doesn’t mean it becomes the proverbial money pit when found in project-grade condition. That said, this example has a… more»
Bavarian Barn Find: 1974 BMW 3.0CS
The E9 BMW remains one of the more collectible models among the company’s vintage lineup, but that doesn’t mean every version of this pillarless coupe is fetching top dollar. Like so many other cars from this era, changes in… more»
Expensive Roller: 1990 BMW M3 Shell
It’s still amazing to me to see how certain cars have gone from once-cheap projects to borderline unobtainable in the same sort of condition that would have rendered them trash a decade ago. The E30 chassis BMW M3 is… more»
Original Paint! 1974 BMW 3.0CS Survivor
When it comes to E9 BMWs, buying a project-grade specimen really isn’t the way to go unless it’s free or has zero rust. Rarely, do those two paths come together, and while a finished car will cost you a… more»
Rare Performance Package: 2004 BMW 330i ZHP
This 2004 BMW 330i ZHP is more modern than we normally feature, but it definitely fits the definition of an emerging classic. The ZHP option was a rare sport package offered between the normal sport trim and the top… more»
Fresh Rebuild: 1988 BMW M5
Generally speaking, if you tell the owner of any BMW that wears the “M” badge that their classic requires an engine rebuild, the reaction will be to hyperventilate and then apply for a mortgage on the family home. That… more»
Upgraded Engine: 1970 BMW 2002
When it comes to BMW 2002s these days, getting a good deal requires getting to the house with the car in the garage before the other guy does. You’d also be wise to have a trailer in tow and… more»
Rare German Exotic: 1981 BMW M1
Kyle Knorr found this 1981 BMW M1 that is being auctioned at Garage Dream Auctions and sent it to us to review. The car has an interesting history beginning with its original sale in Montabaur, Germany in 1981. The… more»
No Reserve 1988 BMW M3 Project
$40,000 for a car that needs an engine rebuild: if there’s any further proof needed that the E30 M3 market is still completely bananas, look no further. This example of BMW’s halo car of the 1980s is a dusty… more»
Tired But Worthy: 1988 BMW M3
The E30 BMW M3 needs no introduction: it has arrived as a collector car, and that isn’t going to change. It’s joined the ranks of the air-cooled 911, the Mustang Cobra, and other limited production performance models. Ironically, it… more»
Rare 1991 BMW Z1 With Only 2,377 Miles!
The Z1 is certainly one of the most unusual cars to come from BMW and that’s saying something for a company that gave us the front-door Isetta, the “Bangle butt” cars, the 5-Series Gran Tourismo hatchback, and the famous… more»
Todd’s Garage: 1972 BMW 2002 tii Project
Before the birth of the iconic 3-series, BMW’s 2002 defined the now-popular class of two-door sports sedans. Parked since at least 2007, this 1972 BMW 2002 tii found a home in my garage after a friend decided it needed… more»
Fire Sale: Aston Martin, Singer Porsche, and More!
This 1970 Aston Martin V8 Vantage is an obvious burn victim, with barely any recognizable details left beyond the classic wire wheels with knock-off hubs that managed to survive the blaze. The real story isn’t just a solitary vintage… more»
