Not one, but two press releases from BMW Group today confirm the company’s commitment to its heritage. Many fans are familiar with BMW’s Mobile Tradition efforts, targeted at owners of classic Bavarian cars. The relatively recent, very public restoration of an Inka BMW 2002tii comes to mind, for example. Reading through today’s announcements these same [...]
I’ve always been a big fan of DTM and GT racing, so seeing this puppy come to life is exciting! Daaaaaa-yum!! I’m hoping we’ll have a chance to catch this car in a racing series here on the North American continent. Doesn’t the ALMS now offer a GT3 class? It would be great to see [...]

Avi, a Service Manager at a Bay Area auto dealership that shall remain nameless, is the proud owner of this Alpine White 1998 BMW M3. What caught our interest in this car was the fact that it wasn’t by any stretch a garage queen, but rather that it’s a well-tuned, well-maintained daily driver. Sure, it [...]

Ueno’s BMW has been spotted on the D1GP circuit recently, and Jon Sibal has some cool new shots. For traditional BMW fans this is no doubt sacrilege, but I’m sure there are valid reasons: this E92 Coupe has a Toyota powerplant under the hood.
