What if you wanted classic car style but with all the modern enhancements we’ve come to appreciate? Well, you take a ’70s BMW E9 and transplant the beating heart out of everyone’s favorite M5: the E39.
Just the other week, I decided that what I absolutely needed was an E60 M5. Preferably in Indianapolis Red. I’ve had a deep longing for that car ever since it came out.
Only 300 BMW M5 30 Jahre Editions were ever made, and now, the final one just sold at auction for $700,000. Unfortunately, it’s not going to a good home.
The 1983 BMW M635 CSI was definitely one of the coolest cars of the ’80s. When new, it had 286 horsepower that would punt it to a top speed of 155mph. Not bad for a family sedan.
There’s nothing like box flares and DTM specials to make one swoon over a car. I personally had that kind of moment this week at the Detroit Auto Show, where BMW displayed the legendary 3.0CSL racecar.
