Total BMW Magazine Sample Issue Sonderausgabe

Welcome to Total BMW. We've merged Performance BMW and BMW Car to bring you the ultimate BMW experience in one magazine. For our first issue, we decided to take an in-depth look at arguably one of the greatest modern M machines, the E9x M3. It's such a fantastic car, and everyone should get to experience and enjoy the E9x M3 at least once. Prices are very tempting right now, and it’s definitely a buyer’s market, so if you’ve ever fancied one, now would be a good time to take the plunge. Our extensive buying guide will help you know what to look for and how to pick the perfect car for you.
Elsewhere, we’ve got a selection of awesome modified cars for you to enjoy. There’s the vibrant F80 M3 you might have spotted on the cover, and this pink-wrapped powerhouse is all about bringing a touch of US scene flavour to our UK shores, backed up with some serious power. We’ve also got an absolutely incredible E31 8 Series, one of the best we’ve ever seen, and the sheer amount of work and attention to detail that’s gone into it is unreal. And then we bring you an E30 335d running a twin-turbo M57 swap, and it’s wild, a real riot of a build that we absolutely love. We also take a look at the E86 Z4 Coupé and discover why the 3.0si is a real hidden gem that deserves a lot more love, and we also hit the track with an awesome S38-swapped E28 racer that is guaranteed to get your blood pumping. On top of all that, we’ve got an engine guide to the S55, a first drive of the new G70 7 Series, plus so much more.
