Wanting to take advantage of the red-hot car market in early 2021, I parted with my 2020 BMW M2 Competition. I decided to hop into something a little more practical for daily driver duties and seek out a second “fun car”. Having been impressed by the G20 3 Series I had driven up until that

After taking a look at the best BMWs you can buy for $10,000, we doubled our budget to $20,000 to see what we could find. Now, we’ve upped it to $30,000. With this kind of money, you can get into some seriously interesting cars, including lots of M series. That said, there’s a sprinkling of

After seeing stratospheric rises in value in cars like E30 M3, many enthusiasts are wondering what the next “hit” is – what BMW will be the “must-have” collector car in years, or even decades, to

The used car landscape has changed recently, and things have gotten tougher for budget-minded BMW enthusiasts. But even at the entry point of $10,000, there are still tons of options. Today, we’re looking at some of the best BMW cars you (might be!) able to buy for under $10,000. E30 318is E30s haven’t really been
