Driving fast is fun when done responsibly. It's not fun when done poorly on a twisting back road. Watch this driver learn a pricey lesson about understeer. In the words of G.O.B., he made a huge mistake.

We tend to talk and talk incessantly about the BMW M3, about how great it was, how great they are, blah blah blah. But what few people remember to talk about is what came in between the original and the one we have today.

What happens when you strap an F1-sized turbo to a 1980s BMW M3, fit it with four wheel drive, and race it on a half dirt/half tarmac rallycross course? You get what could be the nuttiest E30 ever made.

It's a stunt plane and a drift-spec BMW M3 battling it out on an airfield. How are they battling each other? They're playing tic-tac-toe with burnt rubber.

If you are dealing with a high-priced luxury or sports car, it is almost 100% impossible to complain about that vehicle on the Internet without someone alleging that you sound like a whiny prick. One M3 buyer who says he got screwed over by BMW is learning that lesson right now.

Remember the EV West E36 M3? It's the one Bill Caswell drove last year. Well, now it's the fastest street-legal electric car up Pikes Peak. Here's what it's like to drive.

I read recently in Sports Car Market that the 1988-1991 BMW M3 has appreciated around 27% in the past year alone, and will likely continue climbing. Not to mention, E30 M3 values have more than doubled in the past five years.

Everyone loves the E30 M3. Its boxy fender flares, manic four-cylinder engine and race-bred talents make it a blast to drive even today. But can it hold its own against an M3 from the modern era?

Jalopnik reader Kurt emailed us yesterday, as people often do, seeking some car buying advice. Luckily for us, Kurt isn't struggling over whether to buy a Camry or an Accord; he's considering three very badass and very different German performance cars.

The M3 might not be the high-strung four-cylinder car it once was, but that doesn't mean we can't appreciate this brooding, V8 evolution for what it is.
