So which is it to be? What is the greatest ever product of BMW's performance arm, the M Division? Is it the BMW E30 M3, the compact 3-Series that was homologated for the road to go racing and, to many, is the epitome of an M car? Could it be the E46 M3 CSL, the lightweight, hardcore version of that generation M3, which had one of the finest engines ever made? Or could it be the car we're bookending the feature with, the very latest M2 Competition? Or is there one we've missed? Join our testers Mauro Calo and Matt Prior as they try to decide what is the greatest driver's BMW ever. And if you like this

I'm lucky enough to have owned all three models, and I agree entirely with the boys analysis and conclusion - nice to hear honesty about drawbacks but I think you can drive around those present in the older cars, whereas its harder to be tolerant of those in a new model. History makes the heart grow fonder though.

Best sounding M cars:
1. 4cyl E30 M3 (the only 4cyl)
2. 6cyl E36 M3 (E46 too raspy, F80 is just farting)
3. 8cyl E92 M3 (E39 a bit lumpy, like a US V8)
4. 10cyl E60 V10 M5 (the only V10)

Lots of people writing about the M5. Those are massive sedans - same as an E-Class or Cadillac CTS. Great cars for family use, but the M5 is nowhere near the driver-s car as the M2 & M4.

Sorry but as lovely as the E30 M3 might be its four-pot simply doesn't have the aural presence of the inline sixes. The M2 Competition will probably just edge it for me. the torque.

This video made me laugh - I had an E34 M5 3. 6 when my eldest kids were young, and they grew up believing 'M' stood for 'Mental', and was because M cars went sideways. -

I am blessed to be buying a e46 m3 this week. When I test drove it I could not help but continue to ask myself -what was BMW thinking when they built this thing? -

Now everyone knows the E30 M3 is so underpowered it can't even drift; P. And your E46 M CSL car doesn't have a manual Of Course - so it's Rubbish.

i'm lucky enough to have owned an e30 and e46 M3, if i could, i'd but the e30 body on the e46 chassis with a manual box: ) great vid!

E36 M3 is the best and most fantastic BMW ever made, and at 2nd place: OF COURSE it-s the E46 M3 CSL. All newer BMW-s just go home.
reply

hey Mauro and Matt, does the Supra have that -BMW thing- that every BMW has? that would be a good attribute, wouldn't it?
