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 |

In 5 years people will miss the M2C with manual that could be had with 400 HP. Eventually all cars will be autos, smg etc. Cars become more desirable as years go by. Is it possible to get a e30 m3 in great shape for under 75k? I imagine the CSL isn't cheap or really purchasable now. 1M, M coupe, and a regular e46 M3 would be a better comparison. Except for the M2C, the others are more dream cars.
