I may not be faster but I'll certainly be more involved - for me that's always been a key decider as I consider myself an active driver who relishes the chance to master the control of a dynamic, high performance vehicle.

2. The unmatched combination of power and agility is what sets this M car apart from its siblings. It also looks far better than anything else here...

3. White

4. M5. Ok, I'll force myself to pull back on the left paddle and have the engine blip the revs for me on the way down through the 'box of the greatest sports saloon ever. 373 kW V10 masterpiece? Twist my rubber arm.
The Man!

Re: a "//M" azing BMW BATTLE! (M6, M3,M5 etc.)

Not really a M fan at all, but....

My Pick: M5

Questions -

1. Why do you feel your pick is the best //M? Because it's a sedan, and it drives nice
2. What factors put it over the others?M trim looks better then the others and I prefer coupes over sedans.
3. What color would you get it in if you were to purchase it? Black
4. Which one would be the runner up? The B7 7 series

Re: a "//M" azing BMW BATTLE! (M6, M3,M5 etc.)

Z4M Coupe

1. The best? It's certainly my favourite. In my humble opinion it showcases most everything an M car should have - sporty chassis, high revving straight six, conventional manual, etc

2. Mostly looks, but the fact that it has a straight six and boasts a conventional manual certainly helped.

3. Titanium

4. Alpina B7

Re: a "//M" azing BMW BATTLE! (M6, M3,M5 etc.)

My choice:



1. Why do you feel your pick is the best //M?
Both luxury & power in a decent sedan cloth

2. What factors put it over the others?
Everything in stock M5 is just enough

3. What color would you get it in if you were to purchase it?
Black or silver

4. Which one would be the runner up?
Alpina B7

Re: a "//M" azing BMW BATTLE! (M6, M3,M5 etc.)

Im so glad I havent voted yet. M5 is the only car AMG hasnt beaten yet, the new M3 is already bye bye and gone....C63 just replaced the M3.

My vote goes to M5.

Re: a "//M" azing BMW BATTLE! (M6, M3,M5 etc.)

Z4M Coupe for me given my age (28). I love the way it looks...I love the 6cyl motor...I love the Z4 design...and all that under the M-badge with M-treatment...makes me choose the Z4 M Coupe...

Actually, If I were to re-vote, I would choose the B7.

Like ree, I have great appreciation for it.
