3. BMW E92 M3 (2008-2013)
The E92 M3 stands out with its exhilarating 4.0-liter V8, delivering a soundtrack and power band rarely seen in modern cars. Its sharp, communicative handling makes every drive memorable.
Thanks to steep depreciation, this once-premium coupe often lists below the price of a new Tacoma. Enthusiasts can enjoy true M car thrills without breaking the bank. For tips on what to look for, read MotorTrend’s buyer’s guide.
