I've been around M cars before getting my driving license 7 years ago....To me the list would look like this:
- EURO E36 M3 (3.0L version not the 3.2L due to reliability issues, PREFERRABLY a GT version PLEASE)
- E30 M3 EVOII (just fucking look at it!!)
- E46 M3 (not a single negative input on this one)
The Z4M is proving to be a monster of an M car on our streets, and Z3M Coupe has the best balanced chassis of the M family, not to mention "RARE" factor. It's a tough choice here and it's all based on my emotions and experience on/off track. The E36 on autox/sprint tracks would lose to the E30, so if I'm thinking of a weekend warrior it's gotta be the E30 M3. Mind you we only get the Euro M3's, yeppie!! A friend of mine bought a '94 M3 that's been tuned by an old company called "Iding Power" and it made me fall in love to the extent of obsession with the E36 M3! It's just an insane machine, Iding Power just showed how a sleeper is properly built. The M5s are great in all their incarnations, but I'm more of a coupe fella. I just wish I didn't have that flaw
Each and every one of the M cars has its place in our hearts and no single review would ever be able to rule out a proper result! Any car with an "M" badge and a stick is what keeps us grinning ear to ear, regardless of what series! And that's a fact.
Oh, and I couldn't care less for the new "M" cars.......Not my cup of tea!
Great thread!
