This is a great reminder of BMW's ethos and pursuit of performance....there are quite a few marques that are in parallel pursuits but BMW stands out IMHO.

Hey. They tried. Admiteddly, they failed to put together even a halfway-decent list, but at-least they tried.
Ignoring the elephant in the room (get it? oversized/weight reference), the e61 being on here is a very strange inclusion. The e60 sedan is undeniably a better-looking vehicle, regardless of the love-fest we all have (me included) for wagons. They harp on about performance, but what is the definition of best? Is it purely performance-based compared to its era? Yeah, I'd put the G80 on there today. Near the very top, actually. If you define best using any other metric, it wouldn't make it onto the top 50 list of M-cars. |

My S54 Z3M Coupe is feeling left out after this list came out...

If they fix the face for the LCI it will go down as a legend, but I don't see that happening. Demand seem to be strong. Who knows how much of that is due to pandemic inventory shortages, but BMW can argue the face has resonated fine with consumers.

They couldn't have asked for more and, certainly will milk the shortages excuse for as long as they can. I've never paid MSRP before but can't say if I'll get a discount ever again (for a long time at least)

Anyways, blowing my own horn here, but the M2C will be remembered as an absolute cracking value. The fact that you could get the S55 for so cheap still blows my mind.

Drive the G8x vigorously and it'll be clear why it's on the list.
BMW M are at the very top of their game right now. M5CS, M2CS, and the G80 xDrive are all absolutely amazing cars, and better than the best past M products were within the context of their original eras. I'd rather have an M2C than any older BMW in any condition. |

M8 seems like a great car. Long time BMW M fan the king of Sweden has one in his stable.

It doesn't seems like... Actually it is a great car... powerful, fast, luxury, beautiful and reliable. So stable on corners.

I like how they extended the list to 11 just so they could fit in the G80.
I’m sure AvH is thrilled to see his pride and joy isn’t even the ugliest car on the list. That honor belongs to the E61 touring. That said, i don’t have any huge problem with the list. The only glaring omissions are the clown shoe (ok well at least you got the E46 M3 that partially captures the ethos) and the Z8 (no excuse unless you’re one of those people who say it’s not an M) |

I’m sure it will in time especially as BMW keeps releasing CS models that journalists love. At the end of the day the 2CS is practically the same car from a hardware/tuning perspective (which is really the main benefit of the F8X CSs) albeit a little bit sand bagged (just like the M2 is to the M3) - the only reason I would take it over a 3CS would be if I wanted 6MT. To its credit… that is a huge draw for many people.

Meh - best is subjective - the E30, E39, E46 and E9x are special whether they are best or not. All four made the list. Why is M1 best - just because first and rare? Wouldn't want an M1, If you gave me one I'd sell it and buy something else.
Best for me is the Goldilocks car - F80 - not even on the list - imo best size, best looks, best overall usability with 4 doors, not the best sound lol, some turbo lag yep, and good over all performance with a mean torquey tail happiness. Find ur own best and don't worry about debating on a limited list of 10. Said another way Clown shoe boys need not explain. |
