Deserving of its iconic status
The night before I finally drove the most fawned over and respected M3 of all time, I relived the moment I became infatuated with it. This 'moment' is 10 minutes and 34 seconds long, and a kindly pirate has lobbed it onto

The most powerful and ridiculous wagon on sale today
The BMW M3 Competition xDrive Touring is a mouthful of a name for what we find is a simple car. Let's break down that long name: This is a BMW, obviously; M3 means this is the sportiest version of the venerable
A life changing drive? Depends who you ask
The love began years ago. Every morning on my way to work I would walk past one. An E30 BMW M3. Something about the shape, the stance, the trim perfection of the profile, the kidney grille (remember that?), the box arches. It

This is how BMW thinks a 1,000hp EV should sound

Can you name them all?
We're probably stating the obvious here, but SUVs and crossovers practically killed several vehicle segments. Call these vehicles revolutionary products or marketing brilliance, the extra ground clearance, the promise of practicality, and the idea of making adventures with them has had
“I regretted selling the car almost immediately”
Firsts are of course, significant milestones. For construction engineer Magnus Granberg, his first car was a 1970 BMW 2002 tii. "I got my driver's licence in 1995, and my dad came to the conclusion that I couldn't continue driving his

Imagine something like this turning up at your local car meet
Remember when YouTuber Simone Giertz decided to build a Tesla pickup? The 'Truckla' as it was so cleverly called turned heads and raised eyebrows, but not solely for the wrong reasons. The world was waiting for Tesla to unveil its pickup back
If could've been the first road-going V8 M3
What, you may be thinking, is this doing here? It's clearly an E46 CSL, and they did that one. Built 1,383 of them in fact. It was the first M3 to have a carbon roof, accompanying the famous carbon airbox.
Sadly not all markets get it
Down in the land of sharks, snakes and spiders, of course. Because Australians, being the generally lucky buggers that they are, can also add 'six-speed manual M3' to the list of things that they can enjoy and we can't. Right
