If the base BMW 2002 had been asked: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” it would surely have answered “a Turbo”, or at least this is what every owner of E9 is told. The 2002 Turbo is indeed an iconic car more because of its looks than its performance (although 170… Read More Breaking bad: 1973 BMW 2002
We do not know if you have the perception of what happened to the values of the BMW E9 series, if not, we will make a short summary. Briefly, the E9 series, which is the flagship series of BMW production between the end of the 60s and the mid-70s, was practically ignored by the world… Read More Polaris and blue: 1971 BMW 3.0 CSi
Let’s face it: fans of the German brand have seen, in the last 5-6 years, the values of many models soar, and probably the series that has seen the most grow and its value is the E9. The series we are talking about includes the “CS” and “CSL” models: ten years ago you brought home… Read More Northern black: 1967 BMW 2000 CS
These cars, as “basic” as they may look when viewed with today’s eye, were very expensive at the time even when bought in their entry level version. So let’s not talk about how much the 323i version cost, with an in-line six-cylinder engine, which today we could equate to the BMW M3, and we have… Read More Bubbly E21: 1979 BMW 323i by Hartge
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
