Massive oversight, considering the dead certain 'modern classic' status will be getting Chucked around everytime a journalist writes about it.

It doesn't begin with M though, so it doesn't count. I know the 1M doesn't either but that's only because BMW are retards.
There's an official M2 coilover kit from BMW which makes the car look so much better... I'll try and find the picture I had.

Wtf what a strange thing to say.
A Z4M is a proper M car. MZ4 sounds bloody awful, hence why it's not called that.

Well, it actually is. I know you're trolling, but I forgive you because you have a recognised disability.

E30 M3 evo
E36 M3 GT2
E36 M3
E36 M3 evo
E92 M3
F82 M4
F80 M3
E86 Z4M
E39 M5
E46 M3 CSL
E24 M635
E46 M3
Think that's my list top to bottom. Don't mind the e60 m5, couple of other new ones but they're a long way down the list.When I see the M2 in life then I'd probably put that on there.

just wondering if that's because you struggle to drive them? You've mentioned many times how you don't like rear wheel drive, is it out of fear?

F80 M3 0 (0%)
^ this pleases me greatly. The guys over on ClioSport seem to bum this car so badly... it just doesn't do it for me. 4 doors on an M just ain't right, yo (yes I know previous cars have been available in 4 doors too)
Edit: I mean on an 'M3' M5 is obviously acceptable because that's what it's all about.

For my wife it is yes. Personally I just think they're hyped up to much. Each to the own I guess.

Don't get this fear of rear wheel drive - can't your wife drive, my loves the m135
However press release from BMW this week states M cars will be 4WD starting after the new 5 series - and so mass production influence begins with the next generation 1 series being front wheel drive
Can see why but it's ashame

She just doesn't like it. I think it's the idea of her giving it the beans and loosing the back end that scares her.

Lol why does veryone think rwd cars are just monsters that are out to kill you?
You control how much power you want by pressing that funny looking pedal on the right. You can actually adjust how fast you want to go, funnily enough.
Mine is only easy to get the back end out at low speed, and it feels 100% natural.
She must love understeering into bushes.

Can see where Eck is coming from tbh. Rwd isnt for everyone, i myself prefer fwd. I can drive rwd no bother but its far easier to press on in a fwd car than rwd. Understeer is easier to control then oversteer. Not as fun like.
Proper balls out in a rwd car on a damp day and it kicks just takes a split second to lift off and your in big trouble.
