Not sure if getting an endorsement from an advertiser shill mag is positive or not, but a win is a win

Wonder if this list was created by AI or a real person.

I know what you mean. Sometimes I read an article that seems to have a strange syntax which makes me think it's AI that wrote the article.

8000 RPM, lol .

I think my Z4M was a cooler car than my M2C, personally. I think that should make the list over the Z3M.

Jokes on them. I can easily hit 12K whenever I miss-shift.

I agree in this case, but the geezers among us remember when the Chevy Vega, arguably one of the worst cars ever made, was their COTY back in the day.

For a brief moment I had a Z4MC and my M2 Comp. But the only reason I had the M2 was because the Z4MC had been hit. Ordered the M2 while it was in the shop and sold it shortly after the M2 arrived. A sad day indeed - that car was going to be a lifetime keeper. I was an original buyer back in 2007 and kept that first one for 8 years, selling it to make room for an E39 M5, that I never fell in love with, while regretting the Z4MC loss almost immediately. I found the 2nd one in late 2018 and it lasted until that fateful day in January 2021 when it got clobbered by an inattentive driver. The only positive outcome from that is I wouldn't be an M2C owner if that accident had never happened, so in a twisted sort of way, I'm grateful. If I could free up another garage space I'd love to own another Z4MC someday. Spectacular car.

I sold my M2C awhile ago, so I no longer have biases on this thing. I can say, objectively, it's easily in the top five cars I've owned and the best BMW I've owned, by far. Truly great car.

Not a bad list. I'm also biased towards the Z4M coupe () but I can see why R&T included the limited S54-equipped (Z3)M coupe. Its unusual styling and the small number of S54 (Z3)M coupes have earned it cult status.

They might of felt guilty for having the E60 on there with the bigger S63 chewing up bearings. I think it’s a great car tho, and only 3 series with a V-8.

The E90 is way cooler than the watered down 1 Series M with weird wheels. Yes I said it! It’s still a bad ass car tho. Haha.
