It’s white, it’s dry, has a V8 engine and it’s nearly complete – a great calling card for any classic car to be restored. And even more so if the car in question is a BMW 501, quite rare from the point of view of the units produced and above all for how many are… Read More White whale: 1960 BMW 501
Let’s make it short: we’ve never seen a pick-up like this, we didn’t know it existed, we didn’t even know that BMW had produced this type of vehicle after the war. You never stop learning, right? In fact, the seller says that after World War II BMW produced “industrial” vehicles under the name EMW, but… Read More Working class: 1951 BMW 340 Pritschenwagen
The strangest thing about German car production from the 1960s and 1970s is the contrast between the cars’ sober lines and the flashy colors available for them. Obviously, Porsche and BMW were first in this area: BMW in particular made available almost “racing” colors for its family sedans: the car presented here, a rare 2002… Read More Verona red: 1970 BMW 2002 Ti
The BMW E9 series is one of those that has had one of the biggest revaluations in the past decade, yet these are complex cars. Complex and expensive to repair, both as regards the bodywork and the engine and transmission: they were the supercars of the 70s and, in fact, they had a build quality… Read More Cheap and chic: 1973 BMW 3.0 CS
One of our readers wrote to us, a few months ago, complaining that we publish too few BMWs: we hope, with this one today, to have satisfied him for a while. In this case it is, to use a term very popular also on European cars, a Hot Rod built on the basis of a… Read More Euro rod: 1974 BMW 1602
If we look only at the production numbers, the 1600 TI is not the rarest model in the E10 series, however the reality is a bit different. In fact, although it is not a car produced in small numbers (about 8,600 examples) compared to other E10 models such as the 2002 Baur cabriolet, today finding… Read More Rare steak: 1967 BMW 1600 TI
All fans of classic BMWs, especially E9 and E10 series like this car, have a certain look in mind. The look is exactly that of this 1802 Touring, which incorporates that of the 2002 Turbo which, in turn, had the appearance characterized by front air dam, widened fenders, larger wheels with BBS rims, side skirts… Read More Racing DNA: 1973 BMW 1802 Touring
Paul Bracq is the designer behind the successful E24 series produced by BMW for 13 years: from ’76 to ’89. Personally, Lamborghini, Porsche and Ferrari aside, the E24 series was the dream car of my childhood and, still today, I find its lines of timeless elegance: it is what we call a successful car, and… Read More Land shark: 1983 BMW 633 CSi
The value of classic cars is given, in general, by their desirability therefore, basically, it is based on nothing. We mean that desirability has objective parameters, but these have an enormously lower weight than the subjective and, in general, emotional parameters: and since we have published a BMW E21 here, we remain on the same… Read More Green underdog: 1979 BMW 323i
Seeing a classic car of German production painted in red is not a common thing, however this model has an Italian father, that is, the Pietro Frua style center. In fact, in those years it often happened that the German brands relied on the pencil of Italian designers to sweeten the squared lines of the… Read More Rosso corsa: 1969 BMW 1600 GT by Frua
