We have 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, Classic lovers can enjoy the E28 M5, an immaculate example that’s been treated to a selection of enhancements from Hartge that just bring out its best, and the E30 M3 – Our American wears a whole host of Euro additions that really enhance that wide-arch retro styling, plus the track day-inspired interior that adds a hardcore flavour to proceedings. If you prefer something more modern, we have the F87 M2C which from the outside, it looks like a pretty standard example of the S55-powered machine, but beneath the surface beats the heart of a fully focused track build. We know you love E36s, 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 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.
