In my experience with driving and racing, I must say that the '98 BMW M3 is by far the best handling car on the street, and still holds up well on the track. The stock staggered wheel setup may cause slight oversteer under hard cornering situations, but this is ideal in a street-oriented vehicle. The wide rear tires provide plenty of grip for the 3.2L straight-six engine. The car is very easy to work on with basic tools and there is a large aftermarket product base, providing plenty of upgrades specific to BMW's. Owning this car makes me respect the fine German engineering that went into it's development. It's FAST, handles amazing, and always manages to make me smile like a goof when i put the throttle down.
