"Best" is super subjective and depends on what you value: raw track performance, daily drivability, heritage, or value.
- For Ultimate Track Performance (Pure Sports Car): The BMW M4 CSL or the BMW M2 CS. These are limited-production, lightweight, track-focused versions. The M4 CSL is the current pinnacle of BMW's production sports coupe lineup.
- For Everyday Thrills (All-Rounder): The BMW M3/M4 Competition with xDrive. It's brutally fast, practical with four doors (M3), has AWD for all-weather confidence, and is still comfortable enough for daily use. It's the quintessential performance sweet spot.
- For Heritage & Driving Feel: The BMW Z4 M40i (roadster) or the previous generation BMW M2 (often praised for its analog, playful feel compared to newer models).
- For a "Sports Car" in the Classic Sense (RWD, 2-seater): The BMW Z4 is BMW's only true traditional sports car currently.
If budget is no concern and you want the absolute best performance BMW currently makes, the M4 CSL is the answer. For most people, the M3 Competition xDrive is the best blend of everything.
