Performance BMW Magazine June/July 2022 Edizione posteriore

Our cover car this issue is an absolutely awesome build. Its owner had a supercharged E93 M3 but hated how it drove, so decided to swap everything into a Touring bodyshell and build himself an E91 M3, and this 666hp estate is one hell of a machine. But awesome as it may be, it’s not even the most powerful car in this issue, with that honour going to the absolutely insane turbo E30 we’ve got for you from Finland. It is pushing out over 1000hp, but it’s not for show, and this is a full-on top-speed build that has hit over 200mph. Speaking of builds with purpose, how about a track-focused E46 M3? CSL styling means it looks sensational on the outside, while a hardcore interior, seriously sorted chassis and a 3.3-litre S54 with a carbon airbox let you know it’s not messing around. Then there’s the S50-swapped wide-body E36 we have for you, a simply sublime air-ride E12, and a full-on M2 Comp that’s definitely not shy. On top of all that, we are celebrating 30 years of the E36 M3 with an in-depth buying and tuning guide to the second-gen machine, plus we’ve got loads more for you to enjoy besides!
