A v8 under the hood, beautiful lines and excellent build quality of BMW (that of 60 years ago, we mean), this is the synthesis of the BMW 503. At the time it was a very expensive car and in fact it did not have a great commercial success: the seller says that only 416 were… Read More Four heads: 1957 BMW 503 Coupé
We do not know who made this conversion and above all, more importantly, we do not know how it was done. The conversion from closed car to open car in fact requires a deep expertise of the torsional forces that are exerted on the body of a car. Nonetheless, we find this specimen very interesting.… Read More The odd cabrio: 1974 BMW 3.0 CSI
This is a fairly rare BMW, indeed, very rare as not only is it a 1600 TI but it is also a Touring (at least the badges say so) Of course, this car has a much more particular design than its notchback sister, and in fact not everyone likes it, yet, precisely because of its… Read More Twin carb: 1971 BMW 1600 TI Touring
If the restorers were superheroes, they would all have one common enemy: rust. And rust is unfortunately an enemy to be feared especially on BMW’s E9 series. In the particular case of this car, the damage caused by corrosion is evident at first glance, but on these cars the horror hides inside the front fenders… Read More Baikal rust: 1971 BMW 2800 CS
Also in this case – unfortunately – we are faced with a project that ended only in the mind of those who thought it up. In reality we only see a disassembled car. That the car is disassembled is not a problem in itself, the problem arises when a project is abandoned for years and… Read More Tenant of the barn: 1957 BMW Isetta 300
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
