Junk or Gem? Donated 1992 BMW M5

As some of you likely know by now, I really enjoy seeing what turns up at the charitable donation lots. It’s pretty remarkable what people give away in exchange for a modest tax break, and you have to wonder… more»

Desirable 5-Speed: 1973 BMW Bavaria

When it comes to vintage BMWs, we tend to become mildly fixated on the classic 2002 and the always-valuable E9 3.0 coupes. The sedans get far less love and attention, and it’s a shame because they are equally great… more»

Secret Garden Find: Porsche 912, Lancia Integrale and More!

Airplane Hangar Find: 1979 BMW 733I

This 1979 BMW 733i is a survivor we don’t see all that often, wearing very pretty Bahama Beige paint and presenting very well with under 100,000 original miles. Known by its internal chassis code as an E23, the early… more»

2004 BMW M3 In The Barn

Modern-day barn finds don’t come up all that often, but when they do, it’s always interesting to see what caused a car that is otherwise still on the road turn up in a barn covered in dust. That’s exactly… more»

Highly Original! 1972 BMW 2002

With few deviations from stock equipment and mostly original paint, this 1972 BMW 2002 in Columbus, Ohio cannot be called “all original,” but it qualifies as a survivor in my book. The two-owner BMW spent most of its life… more»

Mini Bimmer Project Lot: BMW Isetta Duo

Unpacking another enthusiast’s collection can represent a staggering amount of work. Piles of random parts, mislabeled boxes, and sorting out what’s a usable item versus a throwaway can represent hours’ worth of effort for unknown gain. In the case… more»

Updated Classic! 1971 BMW 2002

Fed up with modern cars that perform well while numbing the driving experience with technology, sound-deadening, and other distractions? This shiny orange two-door sedan promises to reconnect you (or connect you for the first time) with the visceral thrills… more»

Riviera Blue Project: 1973 BMW 2002

Bidding is downright reasonable for this 1973 BMW 2002, which is a desirable round taillight model that originally came from California. As such, the car is said to be largely dry and free from the cancerous rust that can… more»

All Original 1958 BMW 600 “Limo”

My apologies for the fuzzy opening photo but the money shot was a tiny thumbnail so once it was enlarged to fit this format it looks more than a little blurry. The next photo of this 1958 BMW 600… more»

No Reserve 1968 BMW 2000CS Project

This 1968 BMW 2000CS appeared on craigslist a few days ago, and then quickly disappeared. Assuming it had been sold, we deleted the post, but then here it appears on eBay. This “New Class” coupe isn’t perfect and had… more»

New Barn Finds Project! BMW R90/6 Motorcycle Shop Find

Running Barn Find: 1972 BMW 2002

Similar to the housing market, it’s amazing to see some makes and models start to simmer rather than stay at a full-court boil. The BMW 2002 is a great example of this, as it seemed for a while there… more»

Earliest Sort Of Remaining BMW 2002?!

Until recently, what might be the earliest BMW 2002 still somewhat remaining hid within the vegetation of an English garden. Consumed by rust, the historic early two-door now rests in Five Ashes, East Sussex, United Kingdom hoping to entice… more»
