BMW's

[daytona365]

Am I right in thinking that BMW's E30 is not only the best and most iconic BMW ever made, but could very possibly be the greatest car ever produced, period ?

Might be a little bias but I think the Z3M Coupe is up there.... and the i8....?

...Nah, no way. An original M1 modified for endurance racing gets very close though. Imo.

Really?
It may be much faster, but it's not really iconic. Only people who are into cars would think it was anything interesting and they're not good looking inside or out.

Not that I think the E30 3-Series is the most iconic or best car ever either. Not by a long way.

The E30 looks like an old BMW (notwithstanding the M3) whereas the Skyline looks more of a sporty package, and seems to have more of a presence.

......Is not the new MX5 a 'sporty package' when compared with say a Blower Bentley worth about 3000,000 quid ?

OP is clearly blind and should not be mocked

......All fart and no substance, like say a Karmann ghia and the proportions are all wrong compared to many of its glorious Italian contemporaries. Only in my opinion of course.

Isn't the R32 2.6 the one to get if you're not especially rich ?

The E28? It only predates the E30 by a year, and is very much an 80s BMW too as far as I'm concerned

I was thinking more of the visually similar 1972-1981 E12 from which the E28 evolved:

.........Hard to imagine a better looking car, (even exotics) than that. It's just perfect.
