WAY BACK WHEN I FIRST DROVE THE M5 CS, my conclusion was that the M division's new supersaloon might be the perfect one-car solution. Lately, I've had a pretty good go at testing that theory. Its daily life has literally been the grind of school runs, shopping trips, runs to the airport and the usual family activities at weekends.
Aside from complaints about the heavily bolstered seats and a strong thirst for super-unleaded, the M5 CS copes with this stuff fantastically. From the driver's seat the only downsides are a lack of storage and the fact that it's sooooo fast that speed limits feel like an infringement of my human rights.

BEST BUYS BMW M CARS
THE PERFORMANCE CAR LANDSCAPE WOULD HAVE looked very different over the last five decades without BMW. Its M division, founded in 1972, has produced some of the best driverâs cars ever to hit the road, and in the process has provided a stream of benchmark models for its rivals to chase. In recent years, stricter emissions regulations, downsizing and electrification have seen some of those rival cars falter, yet by and large BMWâs M machines have remained strong. In fact, some rank among the greatest the department has made think of the eCoty-winning M2 CS and M5 CS while others are the only options worth recommending in their respective segments. Price tags have risen with performance, however, putting those latest offerings out of reach for many, but the marqueâs popularity means there are numerous earlier M models available on the second-hand market for far more attainable figures. Here are four of our favourites.
