7. BMW E39 M5
At the time of its introduction in 1986, the original BMW M5 was the fastest production sedan in the world. But it’s really the E39 M5 model that put the four-door sports sedan on the map, with many even considering it the most perfect M5 ever created. Powered by a 4.9-liter V8 engine, the E39 M5 produced 400 horsepower and 370 pound-feet of torque. And even though it weighed over 4,000 pounds, the M5’s performance rivaled exotics from Ferrari and Porsche at the time. Paired with a manual transmission, the E39 M5 offered an amazing combination of utility, performance and agile handling.
6. BMW E23 7 Series
Today, the BMW 7 Series is the company’s flagship sedan and recent rumors that a 7 Series Coupecould be in the works has us excited for the future of the nameplate. And if you think the 7 Series just recently became high-tech and advanced, think again. In fact, the first BMW 7 Series was also considered upscale and sophisticated for its time and was the first BMW model to be fitted with service interval indicators and complex climate control systems. The original 7 Series was produced from 1977 to 1987 before it was replaced by the E32 7 Series.
5. BMW 8 Series
Once serving as BMW’s flagship model, the BMW 8 Series was built from 1989 to 1999 and could be had with either a V8 or V12 engine. Some believe the recent rumors of a 7 Series Coupe is actually a revival of the 8 Series. In total, the German automaker sold 30,621 units of the 8 Series, with its pop-up headlights and sleek styling. And considering V12s are a dying breed regardless of automaker, those that have a BMW 8 Series truly cherish them.
4. BMW 2002 Turbo
It’s hard to find a single BMW model that doesn’t have a turbocharged engine in its lineup, and that can all be traced back to the BMW 2002 turbo. As BMW’s first turbocharged production car, the 2002 turbo cranked out 170 hp and 180 lb-ft of torque. This car is so important to BMW’s heritage that the company recently updated its 2002 Hommage concept. We can only hope that one day a model debuts with 2002-inspired styling.
3. BMW E30 M3
But the most iconic BMW model of all time is the E30 M3. As the first M3 ever, it arguably began the success of a single nameplate that very few automakers have been able to replicate. As the only car ever to have earned more titles than the Porsche 911 in various forms of motorsports, the BMWM3 has beyond synonymous with pure driving performance and it all traces back to the mid 1980s. It’s a shame now that the BMW M3 Coupe is referred to as the M4, as there’s just something so special with the M3 nameplate being associated with a two-door sports car.
2. BMW M1
The first mass-produced, mid-engine BMW was the M1, hand-built between 1978 and 1981. If the design of the BMW M1 looks more Italian than German, there’s good reason. BMW was originally going to collaborate with Lamborghini on the model, but the Italian automaker’s imminent bankruptcy forced BMW to cancel its contract in 1978. The design was then tasked to Giugiaro and the Ital Design staff. Powered by a full race spec 3.5-liter six-cylinder engine that was detuned for street use, it provides 266 hp.
1. BMW i8
The BMW i8 is the most modern of all the vehicles on the list, but it’s hard to argue that it already isn’t one of the company’s most iconic models. From its portrayal in a misiion impisible movie to its futuristic bodylines, the BMW i8 is a current day vision into the company’s future. The plug-in hybrid helps prove that electrified cars need not be boring. Some even say they prefer driving the i8 over an M4!
