This is what attracted me to an M car initially. I didn't know anything about cars. I thought there were normal cars, normal trucks, little cars like a miata, and then expensive sports cars. Then back in 2002 I got in my bosses' e36 m3 coupe for a ride. I was just blown away by it, I was asking him what is this thing? That's when I found out there was a car that looked more or less like a normal car, but was also fast and aggressive, but usable as a regular car, but much more raw and fun. That's when I became interested in sporty cars, M cars specifically.

A regular car seemed like an appliance. A sports car seemed too expensive, too much trouble, and not practical every day.
