BMW
Munich, 1916. An aero-engine maker whose M division turned the 3 Series into the sports sedan benchmark.
1 Series M
The parts-bin special that became an instant collectible: M3 running gear in the smallest body BMW had.
2002
The car that made BMW's name in America: a two-door sedan with the 2.0 four, sold entirely on how it drove.
8 Series
The 1989 flagship: pop-up lights, pillarless glass, and BMW's first V12 offered with a six-speed manual.
M1
BMW's only mid-engine supercar for four decades: a Giugiaro wedge built for Group 4 homologation that ended up racing its own Procar series.
M2
The compact M car: the shortest wheelbase and the least filter in the range.
M3
The homologation special that outlived its race series: every generation the benchmark of its class.
M4
The two-door M3, renamed when the 4 Series arrived.
M5
The business-suit supercar BMW invented in 1985 and has re-invented every cycle since.
M6
The shark-nose grand tourer with the M1's engine.
Z3 M
The Z3 with the M3's whole drivetrain, including a bridge-truss coupe body nobody asked for and everybody now wants.
Z4 M
The last naturally aspirated M roadster and coupe, running the E46 M3's S54 unchanged.
Z8
The 507 homage in aluminum, styled under Henrik Fisker and powered by the E39 M5.
i8
The carbon-tub plug-in that looked like its own concept car: a 1.5 three-cylinder behind the seats and an electric front axle.
