    I think the Z3 based M coupe looks worlds better. The z4 is straight up girls/cute car.

    Z3's and Z4's are both arguably girls/cute car.

    But the M series of each of them are absolutely amazing looking cars. Even the older M Coupe was an amazing car, I don't care what anyone says.

    I love the clown shoe. I liked the z4 style, too, but not nearly as much as the z3.

    The hatch on the Z4 reminds of the Datsun's of old and I love the take on the styling. The Z3 coupe may perform well, but I can't help laughing at the clownshoe appearance whenever I see one.

    The z3 M coupe is pure sex. I would trade my m5 for one in a heartbeat.

    damn straight, the z4 is as girly as a 318ti...it's takes work and $$$ to make them look aggressive with a good stance. The M coupe/M shoe is just about there right out of the box. Stock wheels, lowered a couple inches, and done.

    I'm pretty sure the M Coupe was the fastest and best handling production BMW up until the Z8...

    The M1 was a badass car though. It had a variation of the M6/e28 M5 engine with about 270hp but don't have a clue what it weighed and less than 500 were built.

    Turbo race versions of the M1 were insanely fast! 750-850hp back in the early 80's!

    You mean the M1 ?

    It will be a throw back to the Original M1 from the late 70's early 80's

    There is already a driving prototype




    Thats beautiful ...
