M3 gets my vote too. Although I preferred th E36 style to the new E46 the performance and handling are suposedly excellent.
studied a Z4 today. there is something aesthetically wrong with the car. i can't put my finger on what it is, but the design is plain WRONG. like that new cadillac with the funky headlights--aesthetically wrong and hurts the eye. best, surfer
Oh, God, you're forcing another diatribe from the resident Z4head, RS7. But here's a hint, angle rhyhmes with Bangle. http://www.petitiononline.com/STOPCB/petition.html To: BMW Dear BMW, Thank you for creating such great automotive machines. Exhibiting the highest standards of performance, design, luxury, and prestige. Once again the undersigned thank you, BMW, for creating our dream cars. Please continue doing so, fire Chris Bangle, and DO NOT allow him to design [ruin] any more of your wonderful BMWs. Sincerely,
I admit, I did not read through all 23 or so pages of this thread, but I have to give a shout out to the sweetest car I have ever driven: 1985 911 Turbo (yes that is right mild mannered reader a turbo charged 911)
