E34 535i Racer
BMW South Africa has a rich history of building cars unique to its market, we track down and drive a factory commissioned E34 5 Series racer that has a history like no other.

50-years of M – 2010s
The second decade of the 21st century saw extensive changes to the way BMW M would go about its business but it didn’t dampen its appetite for producing the ultimate driving machine..

Wild Thing
Every so often, a BMW build comes along that leaves us absolutely astounded, and this jaw-dropping, V8-swapped E21 is exactly such a car. We guarantee you’ve never seen anything quite like this before.

The Greatest Showman
Built with incredible attention to detail and an unbelievable amount of work, this is one of the best E36s we’ve ever seen.

Out of the Ashes
After his beloved E9 CSL was written off, its owner decided to start again with another one, and while it’s been a long journey, it was worth it..

Shark Tale

This E24 635CSi was deemed too rotten for restoration, so it’s been transformed into a stripped-out, turbocharged track machine, and it’s a blast.

Great White

The US-spec E36 M3 was always underpowered, but this spectacular build takes care of that with an S54 swap under the bonnet, along with some serious upgrades that take it to the next level.

Peak Performance

With 630whp on tap wrapped up in some seriously full-on styling, this ferocious F82 M4 is not for the faint of heart.

Estate Agent

This E46 M3 Touring build is an eye-catching machine that’s packed with top-tier mods

Triple Threat

We take a look at the rare and rather special South African E30 333i.

Diamonds are Forever
This E30 M3 is about as good as it gets, with its owner caring for it for 18 years, and it’s been turned into a 310hp masterpiece.

Slide Show
With a turbocharged Toyota V8 under the bonnet, this E36 drift car is a ferocious feast for the senses.

Carbon Footprint
There’s no such thing as too much carbon fibre, as this styled and tuned F80 M3 so ably demonstrates..

Theory of Evolution
For three years, the owner of this E46 330i Touring has been constantly improving and enhancing it, and this supercharged air-ride masterpiece is the magnificent result.

Smooth as Silk
There are far too many monochrome cars out there, but this dazzling Purple Silk F80 M3 makes up for that, and it’s a carbon-covered hybrid turbo powerhouse to boot..

The One
Blending M2 Comp bodywork with an S65 V8, this F21 1 Series is an incredible build that’s absolutely dripping with eye-popping attention to detail, and it’s simply on another level.

The B’s Knees
Owning one Alpina is pretty special, but this enthusiast has no fewer than five examples in his collection. We check out his immaculate E36 B3 3.2 and magnificent E65 B7..

Electric Dreams
The editor samples the entire BMW EV lineup to see what it has to offer.

Green With Envy
We look back at the Z3 M with the aid of this daily-driven Evergreen example.

Peak Performance
This E30 M3 was bought in a non-running rusty state and has been completely transformed into a simply sublime example of this classic performance icon.

The Climb
Packed with individual touches, this bold, bright, mountain-themed E85 Z4 Roadster is a unique and eye-catching machine...

The Next Level
As if a 507hp V10 wasn’t enough, the owner of this E63 M6 decided that he needed a supercharger in his life. The end result is a 680hp beast that will blow you away.

Team America
This F87 M2 Comp has the honour of being the first Team Schirmer GT car in the States, and it’s an insanely high level hardcore machine.

Ancient vs. Modern
When pricey SMG repairs reared their head for the owner of this E63 M6, he opted for a manual swap and he’s never looked back.

Dream Machine
Having always wanted an E30 M3, the owner of this gorgeous example made his dream come true with a 2.5 beauty to die for..

Violet Tendencies
Finished in a dazzling Individual shade of purple, covered in carbon, and serving up 700hp, this G82 M4 is a serious machine.

Load Runner
From its bottle-green wrap to its custom wheels, this air-ride E46 330d Touring is packed with plenty of flair.

Impossible is Nothing
The owner of this turbo E36 has not had an easy time with his project, but it was worth all the effort..

Orange Rush
While this F87 M2C might look subtle on the outside, under the surface, it’s been equipped with toptier upgrades to turn it into an absolute track beast.

Twice as Nice
Finished in matching Imola red, this E39 530d and E46 M3 duo is the perfect two-car garage, with a stylish, sensible diesel daily and a full-on, hardcore Clubsport build for fun.

Unsung Hero
The E36 M3 hasn’t always been the most popular M car, but this stunning Techno violet example will change anyone’s mind..

The Shock of the New
The owner of this E30 318is set out on an incredible resto-mod odyssey that’s resulted in one of the cleanest classic Threes you’re ever going to see.

Paice Car
This Clubsport-spec E46 M3 is a hardcore build that effortlessly blends ultimate handling prowess with some serious style, and it’s an awesome machine.

Original Sin
Performance diesels are commonplace nowadays, but when it came out, the E60 535d was seriously special.

Engine Guide: S50
This high-revving straight-six is a masterclass in naturally aspirated engine design.

The Wild One
We revisit BMW’s mighty V10- powered E61 M5 Touring.

Modding Warfare
We don’t see many modded G29 Z4s, but this air-ride M40i makes up for that in a big way.

THE ULTIMATE BMW BUYING GUIDE,E39 M5 – IS IT THE GREATEST M5 OF ALL TIME?2.8 M52 E30 FANTASTIC THREE.

The Fourth Dimension
If you want an E46 M3 Saloon, you have to build your own, which is exactly what the owner of this car did, and it’s a 530hp turbocharged masterpiece.

South African Neue Klasse
We trace the fascinating history of the South African 2004.

Buying Guide: E38 740i
The magnificent third-gen 7 Series offers luxury on a budget – here’s what to look for when shopping for one..

Magnitude 10
Subtle on the outside, with just a selection of styling additions, this E60 M5 hides a supercharged secret, and it’s a 680hp force of nature.

Seventh Heaven
The E38 7 Series is still an incredibly elegant luxury car, and this stunning 740i has been transformed into something really rather special.

Thad Max
Not one for purists or shy retiring types, this E46 325Ci has been transformed into a wild, Mad Maxinspired machine.

Dirty Torque
It might look unassuming on the outside, but this E30 packs a 420hp twinturbo diesel punch, and it’s one wild ride.

Sugar and Spice
Finished in dazzling Jägermeister livery, this fullon E28 racer packs S38 power, and it’s a hardcore machine to die for.

Bold Over
With its retina-searing pink wrap, this stunning F80 M3 makes a big impression, but with 700hp on tap, it’s far more than just about the looks..

Oletha Z4
Smit Vehicle Engineering's unique Oletha project fuses what a Z8 coupé could have been with 507 Roadster cues – we drive this captivating creation.

First Drives: G42 BMW 220d Coupé
Even with diesel power, which is seemingly in the twilight of its life, the BMW 2 Series Coupé is a brilliant addition to the line-up..

Z4 Roadster
BMW's E85 Z4 Roadster has aged rather gracefully. There's still enough good weather remaining to make investing in an early 3.0i very much worthwhile.

50-Years of M – Part Six
We're approach the beginning of the end for the internal combustion engine, in the final part of our celebrations for 50-Years of M, we predict how future M cars might look.

E90 335i Touring
Touring isn’t the most obvious model to modify into a track car, but with some serious hardware, an eight-minute Nürburgring lap time and a top speed of 180mph, the results for this one speak for themselves.

Top Gear E31 8 Series
This 850Ci is a former star of TV's Top Gear, once raced by Richard Hammond, since rescued and reborn following an eight-year lay-up thanks to a dedicated crew member.
