We'll let you slide since technically it was under peters name when it went up [emoji3]

Will leave it run until december 31st

Well, it's hard to choose. So I made up some criteria for myself.

Nicest rear end: irish Eyes M3

Nicest front end: Mackers E91

Nicest rear interior: Voodoomelons E65

Nicest front interior: Chillipeppers M3

Based on the above I'm voting for Peters E36. :smiling:

It was always going to be that way... :smiling:

P.S. I have a severe criticism of Chillipeppers M3, all the air vents aren't pointing the same way, tut tut, can't believe it, would have won only for that... :tounge:

Cant get them votes off so each owner go ahead and vote your own car to even things out

Whoops! Schoolboy error, just zoomed in and noticed that it's an E66!

Should have known by the fancy rear seat setup.

Beautiful car.

Seconded.

Normally it's the E36 to get my vote, But Mackers Touring is just.... http://www.jonrb.com/emoticons/cloud9.gif

OMG... very difficult to vote lads... different cars, different styles but they are all just sooo spotless and clean... Very hard to vote... but a decision had to be made so... voted :cool:

Its a tough choice those ae some really sweet cars but have a soft spot for tourings and that one looks stunning ya dont see one like that too often ive got to go with it [emoji41]

Been following Mackers thread since he picked up the touring, some fantastic styling and mods so that's my vote

I'd give it to mackers too, thought Paddy McGraths E90 is a very notable omission though, has to be up there with the best modified BMWs in Europe.

Voted for the E90 M3 as its just immaculate and completely original..oh and i just love this model - serious road presence [emoji6]

Ye it's call dumping cash into them lol. :tounge:

Hopefully next year I'll be able to do it with something with a little More power ;)

Almost forgot about this

Congrats irisheyes a well deserved win for a smashing car , was close darran good run from the touring

Let's not forget that the Montreal ( Olympics ) Blue E36 secured 3rd position on the podium and the bronze medal in a very competitive field. :smiling:

Careful where you're spraying the champagne lads.

Well done to Irish Eyes, awesome car. And to everyone else also.

I can only dream about car of the month, never mind car of the year! :smiling:

Congrats to Irish eyes, well deserved.

Hi guys, appreciation to all who took time to look and vote - thank you from my bottom to my heart.

I think it was always going to be a battle between the ‘Mods’ and the ‘Rockers’ or in this case, the ‘Originals’ with the rest maybe placing some value on what makes the E9x M a little different to the rest of the E9x range.

I wouldn’t necessarily be in to modifications myself because I know I’d make a complete b0ll1x of it and would never get it looking any way decent. Also, if in 20+ years I was looking for an E9x as a classic, I’d probably be looking for an original as it was when it left the factory.

However, on saying all that, there are a lot of guys out there who can take the time and have the mod skills and foresight just to get it ‘right’. In this case, the likes of Mackers and Paddy’s Mc’s are cases in point. Take something decent and with the right tweaks, turn it in to something a bit more special. In that case, a ‘standard’ looking M is always going to have a fight on its hands when up against something that is done tastefully such as with the touring.

There was a good mix of candidates from the pleasure craft (E66), the balance of the E36, the silky straight 6 of the E46 to the subtleness of the E90 that is housing an interesting V8 and each have their own vices and virtues.

Ultimately, I believe it is just what BMW M managed to do with the E90 M to allow it to scrabble slightly ahead.

So well done to all and also to Gar for the original idea of COTM and COTY.

Here’s her happy face and also someone else’s pic I like from the last C&C

Best regards and Happy New Year to all.

I love subtle mods on a car, mods that would have been available from the factory are a special favourite of mine. Mackers & Paddy Mc go a step beyond the OEM type mods but they seem right. The right mods can transform a car & it's important that the mods keep on going! Variety is important.
I've seen this e90 M3 in the flesh & it is one that should be the "find" in the future when we are all seeking out an original example of an M3 in 20 years time. It is pristine, really pristine. I didn't see the wheels since they were polished up but they look fantastic in the picture above. I wonder how they would hold up to regular usage with a 12-15k miles per year usage?
