1993 BMW M5 The DTM5 – Daily Turismo Project Car It’s always sad to part with a cherished car, but recently I have come to realize that we are all just temporary caretakers of the machines we obsess over. You can’t physically take a car with you to the great endurance race in the sky. […]
This Saturday morning, we’ll be firing up our DTM5 E34 project car and heading down to RadWood2, the show for ’80s and ’90s enthusiast machines at the Phoenix Club in Anaheim, CA. If Jalopnik’s coverage of the inaugural RadWood in the Bay Area is any indication, this show is gonna be…rad. Feel like you just can’t […]
Some astute readers may remember that we do occasionally write about our own project cars around here! We started with a neglected refrigerator-white Volvo 242 in 2012, did some refurbishment, and sold to our friend Alex who went Full Swede on the car – it now sports a Volvo inline six swap, custom made wheels, […]
In the coming few days I hope to bring some light to any old-car despair you might be feeling, and share a string of cool and affordable survivor cars found on none other than the list that is Craig’s. By the way, Craig Newmark is a real dude, and we all owe him a debt […]
No, you don’t need to adjust your PC, iMac, or mobile device. You’re looking at a Bring a Trailer auction car on Daily Turismo. We like to think we don’t compete with BaT – they are clearly in the business of making large sums of cash, and we are more about entertainment – so why […]
The clever German title above translates to “clean bar of soap.” I’d also like to remind readers that Sauber is the Formula 1 team that BMW owned from 2005 through 2009. They had mixed successes, but it was the debut team for 4-time world champion Sebastian Vettel – where he started his F1 career as […]
A look at DT’s own cars, past and present… Not actually DT cars…but who doesn’t like E30s and E34s? Continuing our 3rd Birthday Celebration from Friday, we turn the focus inward for a minute to reflect on our own cars and experiences with them. In no particular or discernible order, let’s get to it! 1984 […]
Nothing better to do this Saturday morning than gawk at other people’s cars? Yeah, us neither. That’s why we’ll be heading down to the 2nd-ever Coffee & Cars with Pelican Parts, a low-stress gathering of SoCal’s finest Euro Trash. Come join us, have a brew (of the hot caffeinated morning variety), let us gawk at […]
by CFlo That’s right, the DTM5 is still alive and well. You may remember my black-on-black 1993 E34 M5 from previous posts, but if not, check them out here. Up to this point I’ve dynoed the car, diagnosed and fixed the fuel delivery issue, shod it with sticky new tires, and straightened out the power […]
The E34 generation BMW M5 is an awesome vehicle. So awesome, that DT’s CFlo drives his regularly (especially when it rains in SoCal) and our 2013 E34 M5 market watch story (syndicated here on Jalopnik) is the 6th result from the top when you search google for E34 BMW M5. However, if you want the […]
