A Z3M is the first BMW I ever drove, as my uncle has owned one for over 20 years. I’m not saying they aren’t great cars. I’m just saying, like the guys in this video also said, if you’re picking the best BMW M car ever, you want to go with BMW’s traditional “do everything” formula and pick a car with a backseat. BMW’s strength was always building practical cars that compete with sports cars. If you’re looking at outright sports cars, the competition is very different.
I agree... I've had a Z4M, it was fun....
However my answer was....
A Z3 5speed with a low maintenance M52TUB25
Plus
A custom ordered ZCP e92M 6 speed.
And if weather is shotty I have my e46
