Since the M3 Coupe was pulled out of production for good, everyone that ever loved fast, agile cars took a minute to pay their homage to an icon that will forever be silent from now on, Top Gear included.
In their own, specific way, the Brits put together a brief history of the legendary model, going through all of its 4 iterations, from the original, E30 M3, to its successor, the E36, the last inline-6 model, the E46 and the only V8 model, the E92.

Unlike their usual dismissive, insulting tone, their take on the 4 models was rather respectful and on point, showcasing the highlights of each of them and their Motorsport achievements, where possible.

The best thing about their listing comes at the end, though, with an open question that was posed to raise a lot of arguments. It goes like this: “all that we ask is you nominate your favourite M-Power 3-Series and one good, intelligible reason for it being the best M3. Personal experience? Engine performance? On-track prowess? Anything. Just so long as its not "it eatz Audis and Merczs all dayz yeah". Please don't say that.”

So, we’re asking you the same: which is your favorite BMW M3?  Why?
