Have to go with the e46 M3 considering I owned 3 of them. First BMW that I lusted for and could afford. The driving experience was phenomenal and revving out that I6 to 8K RPMs always put a smile on my face.

People like you might think SMG is just an automatic but it is not. It has a clutch..
SMG is a great transmission, especially with CSL tune or CSL SMG software version.

You ignorant people should stop making a statement like that.

E46 M3 (not CSL because it only came with SMG II and was not offered with manual).

For me, it's a toss up between the 118d and the 318ti...

It's a toss up between the E46 M3 or E39 M5. Both are probably the best cars BMW has ever made.

E46 CSL hard to beat.

I'd also add E46M3 ZCP 6MT, not because I own one or anything like that, just because it's the best.

Oh and btw IB is the best color.

You seem upset. Tell me more about your frustration.
