If practicality isn't a consideration, an M Coupe for sure. It's so underrated compared to the M3, M5 and M6, it's not even funny. After having driven the latter two back-to-back alongside the M Coupe, there's no denying how much more satisfying and simply better the Z4 is. There's no argument to be made. I don't care how much more horsepower the other three cars have. They're too heavy and detatched to be considered "driver's cars" in comparison to the M Coupe.

It's fair to say that the M Coupe drives like a sharper E46 M3. I suppose that makes it fall in-line with the CSL, which is supposedly the best driver's car that BMW has made. The fact that I could throw the back out so easily, and just dial in some opposite steering to catch it all in one simple move made it infinitely more satisfying to drive. It's far twitchier, far more tossable. There's just no substitute for lightweight driving dynamics.

In order from most wanted to least:
1) M Coupe
2) E46 M3 CSL
3) E9X M3
4) M5 (drives slightly better than the M6 in my opinion)
5) M6
