      1988 325is with sunk diving boards and clean wheels. Hands down. I still wish I could have picked up my first E30 when it popped back up on my local CL. Fuck, I loved that thing to death. And it was by and far the fastest M20 I'd ever driven. 3 people that drove it thought it was motor swapped. It just sang.

        In that order.

          I always liked the M42 more than the M20, so for me, a '91 318i/318is is on top.
          Past - 1991 318i, 1972 '02

            It's pretty easy to R&R an airbag wheel.

                It is really all about the condition of the specific car rather than the year or model, but all else being equal, in stock spec, anything with "is" on the end.

                            Canadian M-Tech 2 Vert. No airbag stock, all the late model goodies, plus a drop top for cruising.

                            318is for the hard driving though.
                            Drive it hard. Maintain it well.

                                Can't believe no one has suggested an ix yet. Specifically a 1988 325ix. Hands down the most valuable car (if you live anywhere that has snow/seasons), and it came with all the options. Don't forget those sweet sweet ix flares and basketweaves
