BMW M3 Coupe (E92) · 2008–2013
The E92 is the only V8 M3 — a 4.0-litre, 8,400-rpm S65 (essentially the V10 M5's engine with two cylinders removed) wrapped in the classic two-door shell. It's the last naturally aspirated, hydraulically-steered M3 before the turbocharged F80, which is exactly why the analog crowd treats a clean 6-speed as a future blue chip.
