It doesn't get much better than this. A cool overcast afternoon, an empty track, and two of the latest M cars at your disposal. Well, we got to drive one, the newly launched 1 Series M Coupe, while the other, the track-focused M3 GTS was available for a taxi-ride experience. Still, this was motoring nirvana turned up two notches!

A bevy of BMW M cars ready for some track action.

We head out in a full convoy filled with a range of the sexiest M cars around. This M3 Competition with sports exhaust sounds downright menacing.

If you see these cars coming in your rear view mirror, move away!

335 bhp of pure awesomeness.

This car takes no prisoners. Full roll-cage and track-based suspension means you'll be eating regular M3s for breakfast.

Sun kissed M3 GTS the brightest thing on a cloudy day.

Classic M livery on the 1 Series M Coupe looks awesome.

A delicious spread of M cars. Pick one, any one!
