PROS
Awesome engine, distinctive looks, rewarding chassis
CONS
M3 has similar performance and more practicality
Something of an oddball BMW. It follows no model lineage and wasn’t replaced when killed off, but what a wonderful hiccup in the corporate product line. The M Coupé housed the cracking straight six engine from the M3 in a smaller body based upon the two seat Z3. If you’re after a performance car that looks like nothing else, and goes like the clappers but think a TVR will let you down, then this is the car for you.
Not for the faint hearted, but they’ll probably be scared off by the looks any way.
