Not an easy question, I know. There were so many great BMWs built in the last 50 years or so, that choosing a few selected ones can be a difficult task. While I was browsing today through the new BMWs photo galleries, I couldn’t kept thinking about some of the classic models that Ive encountered over the years and…fell in love with quite a few of them.
We all love evolution and seeing how the cars progress over the years is fascinating, but that doesn’t stop us, the bimmer fans, to looking back and be sentimental over some BMWs we’ve owned or at least driven.
So, let’s make this exercise fun. I will start with my 10 favorite BMWs of all time, in no particular order, and then you will have the floor to express your opinion in the comments below. After a few days, I will go back and compile a list of the bimmers you mentioned in your comments and I will include them in the article.
2003 BMW M3 CSL
BMW 8 Series E31
BMW M5 E34
BMW 2002tii
BMW 3.0 CSL
BMW M3 E30
BMW M1
BMW M3 E92
BMW Z8
Alpina B7
Okay, so I’ve cheated a little bit with this last one, Alpina B7, but I still think it’s one of the best looking 7er out there. So this is my list, now let’s see yours…..

BMW is not a mercedes to have only one great model (s-class). All BMWs are distinct masterpieces, the best cars in their respective segment.
To me, the greatest automobile in the world is BMW M5, no matter what generation.

If you can cheat so can I.
1. Alpina B6 3.5 – My dad had one in the early nineties and it was the finest sporting E30 ever produced.
2. E30 BMW M3 – It comes a close second.
3. BMW M1 – Even today it looks stunning.
4. E60 BMW M5 – What right did they have to produce such a highly strung V10 engine and stick it in a saloon? Amazing sound, amazing performance and makes you feel a million dollars.
5. E64 BMW M6 – The same as above but in a much slicker shape. However it loses the credibility of an engine being in a four door saloon.
6. BMW 2002 Turbo – The car which made BMW what it is today.
7. E31 BMW 840CI – Yes the 850CSI was a detuned M8 but the 840CI was a better package. The 8 Series was the first car where I noticed people would stop and bow.
8. BMW Z1 – Those doors.
9. BMW Z8 – Beautiful Mr. Fisker, beautiful. Such a shame it didn’t drive like it was meant to but it’s beautiful. The Alfa 8C is the modern day equivalent.
10. E32 BMW 7 Series – The whole series because I have great memories of various different models in the range. The 750il was the biggest engine I could get close to without having to search for a Ferrari and the 730i because we bought one about 10 years ago as a runabout and drove it from England to Southern Spain and I will never forget the comfort as it stormed through the Spanish motorways at up to 140 mph.
That’s my 10 and a very personal 10.
Not an easy task, but I will do my best.
M5 E60
M5 E39
M5 E34
750i Sport E38 – So beautiful with those double-spoke M wheels
760i F01
850 CSi
M3 CSL E46
M3 E90 – I prefer the saloon
3.0 CSL
