This is the place to post tall tales about racing. Bimmerforums does not endorse illegal street racing.

A generous bonnet, a long wheelbase and short overhangs are typically associated with sports cars. Here they make it clear that the BMW 1 Series is similarly dedicated to driving pleasure.

The BMW 3 Series is a compact executive car manufactured by the German automaker BMW since May 1975. It was the successor to the 2002 coupe, and has now been produced in five different incarnations and a no less than five different bodystyles. The 3 Series is BMW's best selling automobile, accounting for nearly 40% of all automobiles sold by the company in 2005.

1975 - 1983 (E21)	1983 - 1991 (E30)
1991 - 1999 (E36)	1999 - 2005 (E46)
2006+ (E90, E91, E92, E93)	M3

From the very beginning the 5 Series has had cutting edge styling with leading edge performance. Comfortable on a plush drive, or capable in a performance setting, the 5 Series has always done it all. From the Sedan, to the Touring, to the Beast known as the ///M5, there is a reason that 5 Series owners are the most steadfast enthusiasts of the brand.

1982 - 1988 (E28)	1988 - 1996 (E34)
1996 - 2003 (E39)	2004+ (E60,E61)

Following the success of the BMW 3.0CS, the E24 6 Series coupe's 1976 debut displayed ultra modern styling, true driver-oriented instrumentation, and set a new benchmark for luxury sports coupes. The new 6 Series continues this impressive heritage, offering a ride that is smooth as butter with its luxurious appointments and smooth drive train. But when asked, its hefty engine will remind you that it is more than simply another grand tourer, but a BMW at heart.

1976 - 1989 (E24)

2004+ (E63, E64)

The flagship BMW 7 Series has sparked the imagination with idea that luxury does not have to come at the sacrifice of performance since its birth in 1977. Well appointed with thick leather, wood trim, and more gadgets than Bond could shake a stick at, the 7 Series is the epitome of a luxury cruiser, and a fast, well handling one at that.

1978 - 1987 (E23)	1988 - 1994 (E32)
1995 - 2001 (E38)	2002 - 2009 (E65, E66)

(1991 - 1997) As the last E24 rolled off the production line in 1989, its replacement was quick on its heels to fulfill the fantasies of those looking for a touring coupe with all of the luxury, performance, and prestige of a BMW, only now with both 8 and 12 cylinder engines.

(2000 - current) BMW invented a new word when they introduced their SUVs to the world: Sport Activity Vehicle. Sportier and with more car like agility than the standard SUV, with all of the hauling perks for a more active lifestyle. Introduced in 1996, the X5 continues to be a hit. The younger sibling, the X3, was born in 2003.

(1967 - 1977) The first modern BMW debuted at the Frankfurt auto show in 1961, and has people talking to this day. The philosophy of a sports car that is also practical was born in the 2002, and has carried on to its successor, the 3 Series.

(2001 - current) The rebirth of a classic. The MINI is a blast back into the past when the Austin Mini was king of the small car world. BMW in engineering, but British in the design, the new MINI has many more changes from Austin’s Mini than just the capitalization of its name, but is not without it’s tributes to the old Mini, like front wheel drive, and a body so compact it seems impossible. But fear not, unlike the old Mini, the new MINI is able to sit people as tall as 6’6.
