But sometimes a true enthusiast comes up with something special—something you can’t buy from a dealer. Plus there's the satisfaction you get from building the car you want yourself.

  • Dinan S3-R BMW 1M

    The 2011 BMW 1 Series M Coupe is extremely high on the list of cars that every enthusiast should drive at least once. It's a perfect example of exactly what BMW is capable of when it remembers that it used to build cars fitting the tagline; The Ultimate Driving Machine.
