9 BMWs for People Who Really Get It
Nine of Munich's best, chosen to explain what is actually cool about the brand rather than which is fastest. Two of them exist purely out of spite for Mercedes and Porsche, one was welded together after hours by engineers who ignored their bosses, and one you will never own.
E60 M5
“An emotional technology provider. A performance show. It's not a car. It's a performance show.”
X5 4.8is
“A vehicle that was bred out of spite. BMW looked at Mercedes for two years as they just spanked everybody, went to work, and finally came up with something even better.”

i3
“BMW zigged when everyone else was zagged. What if we didn't just try and put as many batteries as we can possibly fit — what if we focused on making this thing as light as possible?”
E24 6 Series
“The only good 6 Series. A car with two doors that is also huge is a vibe. People call it the shark.”
- X3 M40i
X3 M40i
“This thing is hilarious and awesome and I would love to own one one day. Downpipe and tune, you got a 500 horsepower little SUV.”
E38 7 Series
“The final BMW luxury car from when rich guys drove sedans. Absolutely timeless.”
Z3 M Coupe (Clown Shoe)
“One of the coolest things that you can be is funny and strong.”
M1
“The only absolutely unobtainable car on this entire list. There is no way I will ever be able to have one.”
M3 (every generation)
“There's not a single bad M3. How many people have claimed to make an M3 killer? Every single car company ever. If everyone's out to get you, you got a target on your back cuz you're the best.”
