BMW: three letters that invoke such incredible feelings of passion from car enthusiasts the world over. With over 100 years of rich history, the Bavarian company has produced some incredible, truly iconic cars, and this special magazine is dedicated to celebrating some of those awesome machines. Naturally, choosing just a handful of cars from BMW’s rich and vibrant automotive production history was an incredibly challenging task, but within these pages sit some of the company’s greatest highlights. These are cars that have become true legends, cars that anyone passionate about all things motoring would give anything to own and that excite enthusiasts like nothing else. Cars like the legendary E9 CSL and the absolutely epic E92 M3 GTS, or the iconic 2002 Turbo, which we pitch against the E34 M5 Touring in a battle of legendary classic purchases – which one would you choose?

Elsewhere, a turbocharged E46 M3 pushing out over 1000whp joins a similarly mind-blowing turbo S52-swapped E9 CSL Batmobile tribute to showcase some of the greatest modified BMWs we’ve ever encountered. The legendary M1 meets the mighty F80 M3 CS as we see how far things have come in the 40 years that separate these two performance machines, while the E39 and E60 M5s face off in an epic 18-cylinder clash of the titans. Beyond that, we take an in-depth look at the development history of the incredible Z8 and then look back at the life of Paul Rosche, the engine genius responsible for some of BMW’s most sensational powerplants. And, of course, you can’t have a celebration of BMW’s greatest hits without arguably the greatest BMW icon of all time, the E30 M3, and here we bring you a supercharged S54-powered creation that is classic modified perfection, and there’s still so much more to enjoy in addition to all that.

Whether you love M cars, rare icons, modern performance masterpieces, or modified monsters, the cars within these pages represent some of the greatest BMWs ever made. They span decades of incredible engineering and machinery and demonstrate exactly why car enthusiasts around the globe are so passionate about those three letters. If you count yourself among those with a true passion for BMW, you’ve come to the right place. Welcome to The Best of BMW
