BMW's M Division got off to a flying start. Founded in 1972, its 35-strong workforce fettled BMW's 200C/CS model turning it into the now iconic 3.0 CSL. And so the M car was born. Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, and with more than 20 cars under its Bavarian belt, here are the greatest M cars.

there are lots of changes happening with m's    smaller engines with turbo's,  a sad time for reall big engine performance lovers imo.  m's have been and always should have been naturally asperated. people who want big powerfull cars dont care about fuel consumption or emissions, we want a big lump of an engine with obscene performance.  yes the new m5 is a fantastic car but it dosnt seem right bolting turbo's on it.     diesels have turbos as do little pop pop 1.2l in a few cars.  i want a big lump v8 or v10

Tell the whole truth, everybody,  then 90%  of wickedness will disappear.    When you answer the 'phone at an inconvenient time and say; "I will let you go now,"    when you mean; "I want to go now;"    you are lying.   Yes, the little lies do matter because they set you up for bigger ones later.  Do nothing that you are ashamed of,  be wholly honest, and your life will become so much more rewarding.
