Total BMW Magazine

24 February 2023

Our cover feature this month is a hefty buying guide with a little something for everyone. We set a bunch of different price points and then picked what we felt was the best value car in each one. The only rule was no M cars, and we did try to keep things relatively sensible (where appropriate), and we’ve got a pretty good spread, whatever your budget might be. You never know, you might find your next used BMW purchase right here! Elsewhere, we’ve got a retrospective on the awesome E39 M5, a stunning air-ride E21 from Poland, and a gorgeous 2.8 M52-swapped E30 that blends super-clean OE styling with a hardcore track-inspired interior, and it’s an awesome package. In this issue, you will also find a sensational F87 M2 Competition that has been turned into a full-on build that will blow you away, a wild V8-powered E30 Touring drift build, a slick air-ride F82 M4, and loads more besides.
