Yeah. Too much flat space. Should have added an arch line or something.

The more I look at the G80, the more I find to hate. This time it was those stupid faux reverse vents on the hood (but teh 4" black striping at the bottom is right up there). It is like those horrid fiberglass kits the SCCtuners used to put on with little wierd vents on top of fenders or on wind-supports, totally out of place, especially for a company like BMW.

The E46 and Z8 were designed right here in the US by Erik Goplen.

Yup.

This is embarrassing to admit but I kinda like the looks of the new kid too, it has the same thing as the then new honda space car had.

But yeah E9x. It still is the most masculine looking car I've ever seen only driven around well by females.

They mixed the coupes with the sedans here and that is a serious flaw... as far as M3 Coupe and looks, I think the E92 takes the cake... as far as sedan, the F80 wins by a mile.

The E46 (i like a lot) but no matter what angle you look at it from today, it is extremely dated... the F82 M4 did not look good either... sorry.

Garage List
E36 M3 was the first to have the correct engine & the Evo the first to have over 100bhp per litre along with its subtle good looks obviously makes the e36 m3 coupe then 'best' M3

E36. Didn’t have one but it’s the model that got me interested in the brand.

E30, E46, E36, E9x, F80

E30 was a legit homologation car, the rest are modified street cars.
Now, let's rank from most interesting engine to least.

E9X, E46, E30, E36, F80.
