so...what about the EVO's greatest M-Cars?

savage.ulm1 · 10-09-2007, 04:34 PM

I have like most of you ,the November Evo issue in my hands.
They speak not only about these M cars but also about the C63 and the RS4. In different articles.
The final positions of the M....were:

4th place for the new M3.

1th M3 e30
2th M3 csl
3th M5 e39
5th M1

what is your opinion?
could really be considered a winner the new M3 taking in mind that the M3CSL is not considered probably a standard M, and that in their opinion the new M is a winner against the e46 M3, and the actual M5-M6?
At page 144 they admit also that this M3 won marginally again with the RS4.
And at page 48 about the new C63 AMG they simply write :
is a C63 a winner against RS4 and M3? if I want to go from A to B as quickly as possible,yes.If I wanted the most enjoyable car....no,not quite.The paddle shift still isn't quite beyond reproach,particularly sitting to the Bimmer's fantastically slick manual. And brillant and impressive thought the C63's chassis is, the malleability of the BMW still shines throught and get the nods.
So...can we start to say that the BMW has not made a mistake manufacturing this new M3 with an intrinsic new style, personality and rounded character? is this the direction for the future?

I have not the scan here..sorry. I was a little nervous against the first past rumors of this article. But I have to say is a great article. Honest. Direct. Sometimes poetical...I appreciate much more than before the new M3. They are open minded in my opinion and they say in other words...: if we consider this "direction" and we give some valours to the M badge....the new M3 could be the winner. If we use this other direction, valours, etc to make the final judgment,the new M3 is in 4th position. So it is up to us, to our desires, to our expectations to decide who is the WINNER. They left us in my opinion, the possibility to decide and to continue to dream.

Well, I had no idea it was that big. Don't worry about it if it is that big.

4th is pretty good considering the list of M cars to date. I think the E39 M is a matter of personal taste but I am glad the new M made the top five above the E46 M, M6, and new M5....

I have created a nice .pdf file, but it is large (6.5 MB) and I'm having trouble uploading it to the forum. If anyone is willing to host the file so we can link to it, please get in touch.

Cheers...

You could send a PM to Jason, he would possibly upload this pdf to the site.
