I agree with almost everything you said, barring the comment about the best looking BMW ever made.

Certainly a beautiful car, I wouldn't call the E46 the most beautiful BMW ever.

We should do a poll.

In a forced ranking starting from the top I'd have the 3.0 CSL, the 507 roadster, F87 CS, E46 CSL and then round it out with the an E30 M3.

For me it's the 507. No question about it. Oh those curves. Simply beautiful.

The M2 CS will go down as one of the best-looking BMWs ever. BMW just nailed it with this car. I have the stealthiest of builds (black paint, black wheels) and the car still gets a ton of attention with so many compliments. Far more than even my GT3 Touring, which was also black on black.
