For those of you who do not know what the Speedhunters site is about, Speedhunters is a car culture blog site from the creators of the Need for Speed video game team. September has been declared BMW Month on their site and here are all the feautured BMWs collated for your reference. (They also did that video just below this entree) Get those drool-bags ready!
BATTLE SCARRED E46
Buried in the heart of the Dirty South, my battle-scarred E46 creeps through a confederate graveyard sharing rank with the soldiers that lie beneath it. Battle takes a toll on everything in it’s path, and like each headstone in this cemetary… every scratch, scrape and dent has a story to tell. This war-hardened machine has been to hell and back, and still lives to tell her tales. My name is Andy Sapp.
SLAMMED M3 FROM THE BAY
As Speedhunters’ BMW month finishes up we have one more Stanceworks BMW to showcase, and one look at the car will tell you why we saved it for last.

BMW CULTURE IN RUSSIA
My name is Oleg Lozovoy, I’m 22 years old and I live in Moscow, Russia. I’ve been working in Russian Tuning Auto magazine for almost three years. I’m also a great fan of JDM style, drifting and practically everything that reminds me of Japan. But in this month I made an exception to my rules, and here are some interesting BMWs from Russia. Check it out!
MCLAREN BMW E21 TURBO
Back in the 1970s McLaren had an American based racing team that was used for its Indianapolis campaigns. It was this team which BMW charged with running its IMSA Camel GT campaigns for the ’77, ’78 and ’79 racing seasons.
DTM E92 BY ARTIST JON SIBAL
A collaboration with one of the most talented automotive artists out there – Jon Sibal. Jon prepared this incredible high resolution rendering of a DTM concept E92 M3 just for Speedhunters BMW month.
THE BMW M5
The Speedhunting trip to Munich couldn’t have been any better. Sure they had a tight schedule during their time there, visiting places like BMW’s Welt and Museum not to mention the BMW Group Classic collection. But what made it extra special for them was driving the two cars BMW had lent, kind of like a pair of cherries on top of a nice creamy cake.
BMW PERFORMANCE @ IMOLA
When at Imola the other week Speedhunters spotted a couple of interesting looking factory modified BMW’s sitting in the paddock.
STANCEWORKS E21 FROM ARIZONA
Speedhunters still have a couple Stanceworks car to showcase before BMW month is over, with one of them being this E21 320i owned by Nic Foster of Tuscon AZ. One thing noticed about the Stanceworks crew is that these guys come from all over the United States instead of just one region. It’s always nice to see long distance camaraderie in the car world!
RETROSPECTIVE: BMW’S M CARS
As they wrap up BMW month, there’s one more big retrospective piece left to do – the M cars. For over 30 years M-badged cars have embodied BMW’s motoring spirit on roads and racing circuits around the world. You’ve already seen lots of BMW’s race cars this month, so let’s take a look at the history of production M cars, dating back to the famous BMW M1 of the late ’70s….
TOMMY MILNER – DRIVING THE BMW NA RACE CAR COLLECTION
BMW Mobile Tradition is BMW North America’s vintage fleet of race cars that are toured around the country to some of the greatest car shows the US has to offer. These aren’t your usual museum show cars though. All of them are fully operational and I’ve been lucky enough to drive most of them. And drive them hard…
