Virtually every car in M division history is covetable, but which are the absolute best? The Autocar team selects their favourites from over the years
There are so many candidates here, but we can dismiss the SUVs, purists will focus only on the coupés and saloons and all bar the abnormally brave will steer well clear of anything with a V10 under its bonnet.
You can pick up leggy cars for as little as £16,000, but it might be cheaper in the long run to set aside £25,000 and get a late-model, low-mileage coupé. And avoid the SMG gearbox…While many have lost money trying to second-guess the market for used M cars, it’s clear that the 2007 M3 is already on an upward trajectory, one driven by the fact that it is, with the exception of the ultra-rare E46 M3 GTR, the only V8-powered M3.
The rest of the driving experience has aged similarly well, although running costs will always be high: matching the official 23mpg economy figure from a tank can be regarded as a very good score. Only 169 were made and none officially sold here, as the car somewhat undermined the luxurious front that BMW’s UK concessionaires preferred to present. For more, read Martin Buckley’s excellent story in Classic & Sports Car .It’s easiest, I think, to pick my hands-down ultimate BMW and affix an M badge to the rear to arrive at my dream M car.And so it could only be the E39-generation M5.
Fast BMWs have lost some of that understated approachability in recent years , which is only making the relatively staid older models look like the more sophisticated choices.Is this an M car or is this cheating? Yes, the first BMW road car with a ‘proper’ M badge was 1978’s M1 and M division wasn’t founded until 1972, the year that this concept car, the Turbo, was released. But look at this and then the M1 and you can see where it all started. Right here. So I’ll say this is my favourite M car.
