The 1980s gave us some pretty cool sport coupes–cars worthy of chauffeuring around the era’s Wall Street wolves, “Miami Vice” villains and off-duty F1 stars. In addition to the usual suspects from Porsche, Mercedes-Benz and even Chevrolet, BMW offered that market the M6.

The first generation M6 was a bit ponderous and significantly slower then the first gen M3, but the engine is one of the best straight 6s ever built and sounds great.
M5 are a bit lighter but quite rare. The M3 (first iteration) are probably still the best bet for enthusiast owners. The E46 version starting in 2000 had the superb S54 engine with 333 bhp and an 8,000 rpm red line.
I have a friend with one who just throws money at it as if it were wood into a fire pit.
There is one of those under a tarp on the side of a house I walk by every day with my dog. Also has a nice 911 longhood targa in the garage that is an all original gem. Always dug the M6, that BMW I-6 is smooth as silk
