I ended up voting for the CSL because it's the one I'd like to drive most out of all of these.  :praise:

I'd say the 507's probably the best-looking car on that list, with the possible exception of the 6er.

Well, how about a 1943 R75, with sidecar and 'spandau' machine gun,  as in "The Great Escape"?

Failing that, I voted for the Batmobile CSL.  I'd have loved to see them race (versus the monster Zakspeed Fords).

I can't vote yet.  This is too tough.

That's what I was thinking initially, too.  E30 M3 it is.

Good man.

As you rightly pointed out, it's beautiful. Crisp, taut, elegant, handsome, and every other adjective you cannot apply to the current 6-series.

I'd love to have any of them (though you could keep the Isetta, I wouldn't mind), but the 507 is too gorgeous to pass up.

IMO, the E30 M3 was, is, and always will be the greatest BMW of all time... light, powerful, handsome, unfiltered, pure. What more could I ask for?

I find the 3.0 CS to be more pure of line than the 507, which has some, to me, proportion issues, especially around the waistline. Still a gorgeous car, but not to the level that the CS is. I also love the older 6 series as a great update on the 3.0 CS, but they gained weight and lost some of the nimble agility and beauty of the CS.
Like a fine Detroit wine, this vehicle has aged to budgetary perfection...
