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

I like this man.

All the current M cars are less and less "M" cars with the exception of the M "z4s" (they actually aren't z4s at all, officially they are M coupes or M roadsters)
