Have you ever tried to photograph something and the damn autofocus won’t pick up on what you think is the most important part of the picture? Well, how about if the camera won’t focus at all? Evidently, the finder/seller (haven’t you ever heard the saying, “finders, sellers?”) was unable to get some clear photos before turning this BMW around. Complaining aside, there’s a lot to like about the early 4-door Neue Klasse sedans – they have the charm of a 1960s car, but with many of the upsides of a 2002.

Focus! Focus! – 1965 BMW 1800
June 19, 2015For the Love of Hopeless Causes – 1980 BMW 633CSi and 1977 BMW 630CSi
June 9, 2015This won’t be the first place you’ll read this, but if you’re looking at E9 BMW coupes, Alfa GTVs, fixed head Jaguar E-types, and more, and thinking “Confound it, man, I’ve missed the boat, and it’s already half-way across the Atlantic!”, perhaps it’s time to accept that the ship has sailed and retrain your focus on the ones that have yet to leave port. And just like with travel, buying your ticket in advance can get you some surprisingly good deals, like on the E24 BMW 6-series, which is clearly in the purgatory between old-used-car and classic. Check out this 1980 BMW 630 CSi for sale for $2900 in Silver Firs, WA.
Red Roundie – 1973 BMW 2002
June 7, 2015In spite of the fact it was not the first of its type, if you ask many car enthusiasts of a certain age what the first sports sedan was, they will say “BMW 2002”. Accuracy aside, BMW certainly pulled off something pretty amazing in marketing a mid-range sedan with an upsized engine as something sporty, and convincing a significant part of the population that it was their idea. Of course, as their numbers have dwindled, nostalgic car enthusiasts who miss quaint things like hearing a real engine, shifting their own gears, and rolling their own windows are coming back looking for the remaining 2002s. So it’s nice to find a decent-looking example which just barely squeezes under the self-imposed ceiling of $4000 – check out this 1973 BMW 2002 for sale for $3900 in Portland, OR.
