Best BMW of All Time!!

[gsibble]

What was the best BMW of all time?

I'll take the top 3 and we can battle it out later!

-George

PS. Yes, the E38 was my idea.

[Mroadster.au]

I'll take the euro spec M Roadster

[Shawn 13]

M3 LTW. Don't own one, but sure would like to :)

There were 2 votes for the 2002 and 3.0CSL in the other threads and you didn't put them in.... your worthless...

I didn't know a difference between the 3.0CSL and the M3 CSL. If it's the engine, y would anyone chose the 3.0?

I should have put the 2002 in, my bad.

-George

[EThirD]

3.0 CSL

EDIT: Why are you making this poll if you are unaware of the 3.0 CSL? It's pretty much the reason there are M cars, although that's debateable.

The best BMW of all time is the one I get to drive everyday. :D

[unesential]

The 2002 is what made the mark.

[S.Lang]

Depends on the definition of "best".

If not for the 2002, there's a good chance none of the later BMW's would have seen the light of day.

And how can you leave off the E28 M5? It's the perfect example of motorsport technology in an everyday sedan! The essence of M!

And you don't know the difference between a 3.0 CSL and an M3 CSL? Tragic.

[maxse01]

E39 M5 is what i really love, but the E30 is what really put BMW in the sports coupe/sedan category. I remember riding in one for the first time when i was a kid, it was a 1989 325is...ever since that i car i knew i had to have a BMW. :D

[Mblaster]

850csi for sure the best production car.

[maxse01]

850csi for sure the best production car.


wow, you're right...i totally forgot about that one. 850CSI pwns me!!

[snafu]

I think the e36 M3 deserves to be mentioned. After all, this model is what really put the "M" on maintstream American streets and it continues to be a great street fighter and track car (even after 10+ yrs old in design). Choosing one, for me though it would be an S54 M coupe...gotta love the shoe. :)

[yellowbullet]

3.0csl

[bmwtransport]

Definetly an E39 M5.

[S.Lang]

850csi for sure the best production car.

Have you ever had to pay to maintain one? That V12 is a nightmare. 840's were much better cars, even if they don't have all the bling of the CSi.

[ahutson03]

I think a lot of good cars have been left out (Mille Miglia winning 328's, e28 M5, and e36 m3's were not mentioned) ... Personally i'm gonna have to go with dirtboy, i've always been a sucker for the old batmobile.

[DIPLOMATIC-M5]

E39 M5, end of discussion

[Mad Dog 20/20]

e28 M5
M6
M1
Euro-Spec e36 M3 (321hp)
e30 M3
Z8

In that order.

My vote would be for the 2002, considering it helped BMW make a large impact on the US market, as well as allow for future generations of BMW's.
But then again, im biased.

[NexvzEin]

Not completely a BMW but, I gotta give props to the McLaren F1, 6.0 liter ///M V-12, over 100hp per liter. That's the shit right there.

[unesential]

If not for the 2002 showing what a sport sedan should be we would probably be discussing some Japanese mark in this forum. Everthing we enjoy about these vehicles her in US is more or less directly related to its success. Those of us who have had the pleasure to drive one back when 302 Camaros were considered hot understand this.

[ahutson03]

Oh I totally forgot about the 2002 turbos..... those and the batmobiles are the epitome of BMW in my opinion

[maxse01]

850CSI=hottest ever!!!


Saw one for sale last month. 94, 6 speed fully loaded...black on black 24,000 miles!!! :eek: Guy wanted 45k for it. I thought that was a steal!!!!

And in 10 years it will still be worth 45K

No but I'd love the opportunity.
I have a buddy who ownes 2 countem 2 850csi's

[E30 Stu]

E30 M3, 2002tii, S50 3.2L M Coupe

I'd take them in that order (plus a few E30 318is's) :D

[maxse01]

And in 10 years it will still be worth 45K


Yeah, i really should have bought that car :(

Hear they are nightmare's to maintain though....all the parts are VERY expensive.

[Deacon]

2002tii :D

That's my vote

[Theodore]

3.0 Csl

[redrocket328]

The E36 M3 was far superior than all other performance cars of its time and still is for the most part... The handling and the power that you feel.

m3 csl.

[gin&tonic]

E46 M3 Gtr
