Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: Supercharged, 500-Horsepower BMW 540i For $35,000?
Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: Supercharged, 500-Horsepower BMW 540i For $35,000?-September 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:10:19

We had our second straight Crack Pipe vote yesterday, with the getting a 44% Nice Price vote. Today we're going to stick with the supercharging theme, but in a pricier package.

The 2001 was quite the factory hot rod, with a 32-valve V8 making 282 horsepower. The price tag was about 52 grand back then ($62,000 in '09 bucks), so $35,000 for an example that's had the full Dinan supercharger/suspension/brake treatment could be totally reasonable… or not. looks to be in nice shape, although we prefer an exact odometer reading to the vague "low miles" statement made by the seller. It's even covered by a factory warranty until 2010. 500 horsepower in a 3,800-pound car sure would be fun, eh? Nice price or Booth Number Two?

Today’s Isuzu is one of the best-looking cars ever to come out of Japan, which makes it a shame for it to have never been officially offered here in America. Let’s see if the price on this privately-imported example is equally as handsome. These days, being a smoker in...

At $4,500, Could This Ferrari-Aping 2002 Toyota MR2 Spyder be Worth Monkeying Around With?
At $4,500, Could This Ferrari-Aping 2002 Toyota MR2 Spyder be Worth Monkeying Around With?
Today’s MR2 Spyder looks more like a Ferrari than a Toyota and suffers from a mechanical issue more befitting those looks than its heritage. Let’s see if this Hawaii-located roadster is right-priced for all those factors. In the Symposium, the Greek philosopher, Plato asserted that we are only able...

The World's Prettiest Scooter Is the Aptly-Named Zündapp Bella
Last week, as I browsed through Bring A Trailer, I was struck by an image. It drilled deep into my brain, embedding itself there as an icon. But this image was no piece of artful automotive photography, no vintage sign or poster up for auction. No, this was a...
