The August issue cover car is an E82 1 Series whose owner casually swapped in an S55 on his own before ditching the stock twin-turbo setup in favour of one massive turbo. It's now making over 700whp, and is every bit as epic as you might imagine. Elsewhere, the classic-lovers among you will enjoy the E28 M5 and E30 M3 we have for you this month. The former is an immaculate example that’s been treated to a selection of enhancements from Hartge that just bring out its best, and in one fell swoop, it makes it clear why the first-gen M5 is such an iconic machine. And, of course, you can’t talk about BMW icons without mentioning the E30 M3 in the same sentence. The American example in our August issue wears a whole host of Euro additions that really enhance that wide-arch retro styling, and then you’ve got the track day-inspired interior that adds a hardcore flavour to proceedings.
If you prefer your BMWs a little more modern, then the F87 M2C you’ll find in this issue will be right up your street. From the outside, it looks like a pretty standard example of the S55-powered machine, albeit with some tasty styling enhancements, but beneath the surface beats the heart of a fully focused track build. The owner of this M2, who previously ran a dedicated E46 M3 track car, reckons his F87 can show far more hardcore machinery a clean pair of heels on track, and we don’t doubt it. We know you love E36s and always want to see more of them, so we have a crazy-clean concours M3 Evo for you to enjoy in Techno violet, and it’s the kind of car that makes you want to hit the classifieds and start browsing. And then we’ve got a stunning Imola duo in the shape of an E39 530d and an E46 M3, and we reckon this owner might just have the perfect do-it-all two-car garage.
On top of all that, we’ve also got a look at the future of modding and what the shift to BEVs will mean for us enthusiasts in the years to come. And, of course, we’ve got all the usual content for you to enjoy on top of all that.
