SEXY LITTLE SWINE - BMW tore up the rule book when it built the Z3 M Coupé, now Adam Winstead has unleashed something altogether more brutal

TWO WIES-MANN - With engines, gearboxes, electronic trickery and braking systems lifted from BMW, we look at the first official UK Wiesmann cars

REAL ESTATE - German Manuel Fiebich's 328i Touring is a welcome and striking entrant into a highly competitive tuning scene...

LEARNING TO SMOKE - With no experience of drifting, Project Fugazi headed up to Santa Pod in Northampton for a day of 'Drift What You Brung' action

QUAIFE ENGINEERING - We head to Quaife Engineering to take a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most respected specialists in the industry

GOLD 'N' OLDIE - Francis Fabiculanan had a simple approach to modifying his E30: spend minimal cash, achieve maximum impact

TEAM POLIZEI - Ingeniously modifed for outlaw racing, this is no ordinary E39 M5. This is the Team Polizei M5, code-named 144A...

IN THE APRIL 2008 ISSUE

STANCE AND DELIVER - In place of the word aggressive, the dictionary should have a picture of Jens' E30 with its 11x18" rims and fighting talk stance

WINTER WONDERLAND - Would I be able to match my ice driving skills with those of 007? Well, after spending a day on a vast open frozen playground courtesy of Ice Driver, I'd certainly give Bond a run for his money

THE GRIM SLEEPER - Parked up, Chris Lunn's stripped E36 318i doesn’t turn heads. But turning the key unleashes 348bhp of unbridled E46 M3 power

OZ STYLE - It's all big rims, mad colours and a complete lack of subtlety when it comes to BMWs at Australia's biggest modified show...

ON THE DOWN LOW - Hunched low over 19s, with 260bhp and the torque to match, this moody 3.2-litre E46 330Ci's strategy is one of high-speed hedonism and fast demise

BEXLEY MOTOR WORKS - This month, PBMW makes a direct hit with Bexley Motor Works

BRINGIN' SEXY BACK - Despite being over 22 years old, the E30 M3 is still an inspiration, and in the hands of a modifier, one which has a place in 2008

ICE QUEEN - Throw a M3 Evo-engined stripped and caged E36 Compact into a heady mix of snow, ice and bravado. Heaven...

IN THE MARCH 2008 ISSUE

GARY'S E46 - Hailed as the most powerful street-legal and only RHD turbo'd E46 M3 in Europe, this 635bhp carbon-clad feline beast is also predicted to be PBMW's favourite of 2008

CLEAN, GREEN, KILLING MACHINE - Proof that an oil-burning luxury Grand Tourer really works, step aside the face lifted 635d. Being frugal has never been cool

DAVE'S 2002 - The chances of finding a project car that meets your expectations are pretty slim; unless your name is Dave Garbutt, that is

RAISING THE GAME - We thought SEMA stole the limelight for the best BMWs in the world, but Germany's Essen Show saw Europe fight back

ROCKET QUEEN - With 1600bhp and a quarter-mile best of 7.4 seconds, a methanol-fuelled drag car can't be an ICE-clad show winner as well, can it?

FLICKING THE VS - With impeccable attention to detail, this V8-powered E30 has been built to terrorise rear tyres, it's an old-skool dream

WOLF IT DOWN - With over 35 years in the aftermarket alloy business, Wolfrace knows a fair few things about what makes a classic rim

5 STAR - Here's something fresh - a subtly styled Five with almost 500bhp built for the track, show and street

IRREPLACEABLE - Finding a battered E30 M3 Cabriolet and bringing it back to life is one thing, but building one from scratch is something else

AUTOSPORT - The world's biggest motorsport show hits Birmingham's NEC

IN THE FEBRUARY 2008 ISSUE

THE WILD ONE - If you thought the 130i was fast, think again. The ballistic 135i takes the word performance to a whole new level

SUPER TRAMP - Move over 200SXs, there's a new boy in town in the shape of this £350 rat-look meets Euro Touring

BALLERS & SHOT CALLERS - It's the biggest modified car show in the world with no-limits project cars and jaw dropping rides. We bring you the hottest candy, chrome and cubic inches Stateside

OLD'S COOL TOO - This 2002Tii may be over 30 years old, but with a 2.3-litre S14 motor this 200bhp beast can still turn in 13 second quarters...

DEMON TWEEKS - We pay a visit to Demon Tweeks and see what it can offer for those of us tuning and modifying our road cars

DOUBLE IMPACT - Two E30s separated in guise but both packing a motorsport punch. Could this be the start of an ultimate car collection?

GERMANIAC - Uwe Brunzel's E30 M3 is capable of embarrassing numerous sports cars at the 'Ring, and he does the shopping in it too...

ASPIRATIONAL - Forced induced BMWs may be the stuff of dreams but Steve Morgan's E36 M3 Evo proves that with an effective diet and the right parts, naturally aspirated engines can still break a few hearts

HOW TO BE A PLAYER - Thanks to a bit of imagination, the owner of this E30 2.7 Cabriolet has marked it out as a car to remember

TOP GEAR COMPANY PROFILE - Aftermarket modification and affordability rarely go hand in hand, but Top Gear is a company that's bridged this gap

SUPER BAD - Wider than a Hummer, with bespoke styling, 20s and a killer ICE install, this E46 Compact couldn't be more custom if it tried

RED MEAT - With 460bhp and a nitrous install, Scott Jedlinski's E46 M3 Cab is one red rocket you don't want to meet at the lights

TAKE IT TO THE MAXIM - Dropping a 3.2-litre turbo'd six into an M5 takes someone with a few screws loose. Don't fear, this beast is hiding over 400bhp.
