X5 chassis can handle they even wanted to put a Formula 1 V10 engine in it but decided not to because quote it wouldn't look stock number 38 the BMW Z8 was designed by Henrik Fisker yes the same Fisker who designed the model S and later failed at his own company at least he nailed this one number 39 BMW struggled to sell the Z8 so much that they promised their buyers 50 years of stockpile

misconception number 43 this is the Isetta it had a 0.3 L two-stroke engine that made 13 horsepower with a top speed of 55 mph and if it wasn't for this weird little death trap BMW would not exist today because when they almost went bankrupt what saved them was building and somehow selling over 160,00 of these number 44 the iseta was the first mass-produced car to have an average fuel

number 54 in 1959 BMW was almost bought out by Mercedes but the deal didn't go through because they were saved by the investors number 55 this fantastic looking car is the 1970 BMW garish prototype meaning it never made it into production but looks aside what makes this car even more interesting is its disappearance because right after the car was unveiled to the public it was mysteriously lost and never found so 49 years later in 2019 BMW recreated the prototype in all its Glory number 56 BMW Motorsport was born in 1972 and it's the same age as The Rock and don't worry we haven't forgotten

their classic motorcycles number 62 the US spec E34 and E36 are less powerful than their European counterparts number 63 BMW offered the E60 M5 with a manual only in the US number 64 as a test Mobile

their past number 70 BMW New Market dealership in New Zealand put an advert saying April Fool's Day special be the first person to bring your car in along with this coupon ask for Tom and we'll swap your old car for a brand new BMW so Marsh drove up in her old Nissan expecting to receive a toy car which would make for a pretty fun post instead she left with a brand new bmw1 series worth around $50,000 number 71 the E30 was the first BMW with all-wheel drive and the X drive system was later introduced in 2003 number 7 2 the F10 M5 pumped fake exhaust sounds through the speakers so did the I8 number 73 in the 9s BMW made an M8 version of the E31 that was capable of going over 300 kmph which is really impressive even by today's standards but they later scrapped the project because they thought no one would buy it due to the economic recession number 74 this is thex flow and it has BMW's e Inc feature that that will turn white on hot days and black on cold days even though this car itself will not be going into production it's still a cool and useful concept that we might be able to buy in the near future number 75 a color- changing concept that we probably won't be seeing on the road is the I Vision D it's just not practical but epilepsy risks aside it's awesome it looks like it's straight out of a video game number 76 as of 2023 BMW is 107 years old number 77 BMW introduced the 30-year Edition M5 in 2015 to celebrate the M5 lineup it was more powerful than the regular M5 with more features it was also very rare since they only made 300 units and one of them sold for $700,000 at a charity auction number 78 BMW was tasked with replacing the old train Interiors of the Bay Area Rapid Transit in San Francisco number 79 there's a company by the name Bower which has been making convertible BMWs since the 1930s they were well known for their great convertible conversions especially their e30s which were very popular until BMW started making convertible e30s from Factory so Bower decided to stand out and they made the tc4 based on a four-door E36 number 80 BMW made another Supercar after the M1 which was the nasca M12 it was a joint venture between BMW and ital design but this time around BMW was the one who backed out and they allowed ital design to license BMW's Grill and badge for three units only number 81 in 1973 BMW made its first production turbo car which was the 2002 turbo number 82 the first hot hatch BMW made was the 2000 TI touring which was based on the 2002 ti and was produced for 2 years only number 83 since 2015 BMW has been making the seven series with a carbon core to make it more rigid and most importantly lighter number 84 this is the BMW Z1 and it's as Quirky as it gets it has an all plastic body with a slanted front end and a cute little butt but the weirdest thing about this go-kart is its doors because they don't open they drop number 85 the new 3 Series is the same size as the first generation 7 Series but heavier number 86 BMW made a Batmobile well not really the E9 CSL and E9 omage have been dubbed the Batmobile by fans and they're not wrong number 87 the first successful engine they built

91 on average BMWs cost $1,700 in maintenance per year which is a lot more than Toyota's $441 average number 92 the mark 5 Supra is basically a rebadged Z4 number 93 BMW has been accused of lying about horsepower numbers because in their stock form they produce more power on the dyno than what the company claims number n 94 this is a goldfish with a CH it has a single cam 6.7 L 16 cylinder engine that makes 48 horsepower and 460 lb foot of torque it's also longer than the normal e32 and those massive holes in the rear fender well those are vents because the radiator had to be relocated to the back but why did BMW make this well the answer is very simple they made it because they could number 95 the Z3 was built in South Carolina and it was the first BMW to be produced exclusively outside of Germany Number 96 in the 1970s a company by the name Oiler used to convert the seven series into wagons imagine if BMW actually made these quick side note those taillights are from the 2002 number 97 the first official wagon BMW made was the E30 number 98 the x6m and the x5m were the the first M cars with all-wheel drive now whether you consider those to be M cars or not is up to you number 99 we all know that BMW is not the least bit creative when it comes to naming cars but it can still get a bit confusing especially in the one series case because its M version is not called the M1 it's called the 1M it's probably to not undercut the first M1 but still number 100 on the V12 models you can place a coin on the engine and it wouldn't fall even if you start and rev it number 101
