1996 BMW 318ti Pickup
We’re big fans of pickup conversions and BMW 318tis, so what’s not to love about this? Add in an M52B28 I6 swap and grabber blue paint and we’re in love!

2004 John Cooper Works Mini Rollover Victim
This is one of the best opening images we’ve ever seen for an ad. First – we hope everyone involved was okay. Here’s the seller’s explanation: “This car was involved in a low speed accident in the driveway where it rolled over. Wife hit clutch instead of brake downhill.” It’s hard to picture what happened,…

Mini Cooper Airplane Car
Let’s get this out of the way: this doesn’t fly. It’s just a novelty, but it’s an unusual one. Apparently, this was used by Delta Airlines for some sort of promotion. The Delta decals/logos have been removed; so it’s now just a white Mini with fiberglass airplane bits. Want attention? This might be for you……

Isetta / VW Combo Project
The last time we broke a story on a modified Isetta, it made the rounds on all of the major online car sites. We’re not sure that will happen this time… It’s not that today’s feature isn’t interesting, it’s that it’s very much an incomplete project and the seller has only included two images. Apparently,…

Not Your Typical E30 Swap
E30 BMWs with other BMW inline sixes swapped are not altogether too uncommon, and some even receive BMW V8s. This seller, however, took a different path. Yes, that’s a Nissan/Infiniti VH45DE engine from a first generation Q45. What’s that engine doing there, you ask? The seller apparently was looking “to generate as much power to…

BMW “Corsetta”
What’s a Corsetta, you ask? It’s nothing BMW or Iso ever designed or built, but it is a 70s project involving a 1957 Isetta and a Corvair flat six. The seller estimates current output at 150 horsepower, which is than a tenfold increase versus the original single-cylinder motorcycle engine. At the bottom, you will see…

Lakermobile 1958 Isetta
Are you a Lakers fan AND a microcar fan? If so, this is your ride. This Issetta had a frame-off something. We can’t call it a restoration because it didn’t leave the factory with all of the Lakers regalia. Still, it seems to have been completely mechanically restored and everything else was either restored or…

Quickie: E30 Pickup Conversion
Not only did someone convert an E30 3-Series into a pickup, but this seller claims to be selling to work on his or her “other one.” It shouldn’t be surprising that someone who would do this (or buy this) in the first place might have two. Is this really is/was a 325is, it’s sad that…

Best of the Breed: 1971 2002tii Touring
The BMW 2002 is known as one of the best handling, most fun to drive cars. This is the “Touring” hatchback version that was never sold in the US and, being a hatchback, adds practicality. Being a “tii”, this has the top, fuel injected engine. Tail light snobs will also like the round units on…

Don’t be a Square! Buy this L6 with MT Swap!
For 1987, BMW decided to play up its high-end luxury chops by offering “L” versions of its range topping 6- and 7-Series. Thus was born the unfortunately-named L7 sedan and the L6 coupe. Don’t be a square! Find an L6, ideally one with a manual trans swap, like this one. Image credit: genius.com The L…
