The 2002 series in the 1970's was great, but BMW has improved so much in the last decade in technology and reliability that the best car is almost certainly a current or recent model.  I think the X-series are not that exciting, but the 6-series is an amazing sports couple.  I would personally choose the M6 as the best BMW ever.

Vehicle Of The Week \nThe World's Most Expensive Car \nMichael Frank \n\n \n\n\nThe world's most expensive car is up for sale. And whether or not you think it's worth the estimated $10 million asking price, it's no doubt exceedingly rare, beautiful and--like many follies in automotive history--a triumph of hubris over reason. \n\nThis Bugatti Type 41 Royale was the brainchild of Ettore Bugatti--and also a hugely expensive misstep in the history of his firm. In the 1920s, Bugatti was expecting to get a contract from the French military to build 16-cylinder aircraft engines. The contract never materialized, but Bugatti felt he could use half that engine, a straight eight, to form one of the most amazing luxury cars in history. \n\nThe Type 41 Royale engine had massive displacement: 12.7 liters, or over 700 cubic inches, roughly twice the size of most of the largest production V-8s that would be built by Detroit four decades later. This is still the largest engine of any car to be sold privately. \n\nEqually massive was the 15-foot wheelbase which, when bodied, stood about five feet tall at the hood alone. The car was incredibly imposing, whether in limousine or coupe form. Unfortunately, however, nobody could afford them--production began right at the start of the Great Depression. \n\nA mere six Royale's were produced and two were never sold, staying instead with the Bugatti estate. This car, the 1930 Bugatti Type 41 Royale Kellner Coach (or 'Coupe') was one of those cars (bricked up behind a false wall during World War II). It stayed with the family until 1950 when both cars were sold to American multimillionaire Briggs Cunningham, who was himself a sports car constructor and Le Mans 24-Hours racing driver. After more than 30 years of ownership, Cunningham eventually sold the car to fellow American auto connoisseur Miles Collier, who placed the Kellner Coach up for auction in 1987. \n\nThe car sold for a record £5.5 million at London's Royal Albert Hall before an audience of 4,000 enthusiasts. Now the present anonymous owner--believed to be Japanese--has commissioned Bonham & Brooks in London to offer the Bugatti Royale for resale to anyone willing to pay the asking price. (Offers should be made through Bonhams' offices in London: 011 44 20 7393 3822.) \n\n\nForbes Fact\nMore Royale engines by far were used in SNCF (French National Railway) locomotives than in cars. The French government bought several hundred of these motors and used them in pairs and even in triplicate to pull passenger railcars. Sadly, none of these engines are believed to have survived the war.

Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus (tank) -the world largest tank. Maus is the name of the largest tank design ever built. Designed in 1942 by Ferdinand Porsche.\nBut their were other versions of it,which were bigger and had larger turrets and heavier Armour,but were not completed until the war end.\n\nBangladesh !! Bangladesh !! are you kidding me !!\nDamn! their are some stupid people out their.\n(Sorry just had to say that )

The link below is a comprehensive list of WW2 machines and weapons.  It provides information on where they were used, photos, accounts of their use and is just really spot on for school use.

The T-34/76 Millimeter. It was the first to include sloped armour to deflect shells. Easily mass produced compared to the german tanks.\n\nLater the T-34/88. The same, but incorporated an 88 millimeter gun making it able to break through any armour of the day.

Well, for me i would say that autobawns and/or spitfire would be the best wheels, and decks i would proably say the new Element Heliums

The first automobiles were built in Germany in 1886. Gottlieb Daimler and Carl Benz separately created their own "horseless carriages" to sell to the public. Of course, in 1769, Nicolas Joseph Cugnot invented a military tractor which was the first self-propelled road vehicle. So really, it all depends on exactly what you're lookin' for.

maybe the super gun germany had in WWII.

Best car 69 Plymouth Sport Satellite totally stock and clean. It was a classic. A construction company in California had to buy it from me after they smashed in the passenger side. \nBest truck 66 GMC with the big block V6. it was the same model truck Clint Eastwood used in the movie Bridges of Madison County. It too was a classic. Don't have it either cops took it because I was dumb enough to let the insurence expire and I couldn't afford the towing fees at the time.

The fastest car in the world is the 1001 horsepower Bugatti Veyron. But the 'best' car is completely subjective. In my opinion, the fastest, and even a little practical, and best looking, is the McLaren F1.

yes, check out the bugatti veyron (world's fastest car- does 0-60 in 2.5 seconds) and the dodge tomahawk (bike that has a dodge viper engine). I don't know if they can go that fast, but pretty close for land vehicles.

Without question the Maus. One of the subjects of liveliest controversy during the Allied invasion of France was the heavy tank—the 50-ton Pershing, the 62-ton Tiger, the 75-ton Royal Tiger. Were these worth their weight? Did they gain—in protection and fire power—as much as they sacrificed in mobility? Adolph Hitler's mind was presumably made up on this point. A pet project of his, which few were aware of, appears to have been a superheavy tank that would have dwarfed even the Royal Tiger. Dubbed the Mouse, this behemoth of doubtful military value was to weigh 207 tons, combat loaded. Two were actually built, although they were never equipped with their armament. \n\nThe Mouse is an amazing vehicle, with spectacular characteristics. The glacis plate up front is approximately 8 inches (200 mm) thick. Since it is sloped at 35 degrees to the vertical, the armor basis is therefore 14 inches. Side armor is 7 inches (180 mm) thick, with the rear protected by plates 6 1/4 inches (160 mm) thick. The front of the turret is protected by 9 1/2 inches (240 mm) of cast armor, while the 8-inch (200 mm) thick turret sides and rear were sloped so as to give the effect of 9 inches (230 mm) of armor. \n\nARMAMENT \n\nFor the main armament, a pea-shooter like an 88-mm gun was ignored. Selected instead was the powerful 128-mm tank and antitank gun, which was later to be replaced by a 150-mm piece 38 calibers in length. (The standard German medium field howitzer 15 cm s.F.H. 18 is only 29.5 calibers in length.) Instead of mounting a 7.9-mm machine gun coaxially, the Mouse was to have a 75-mm antitank gun 76 calibers in length next to the 128- or 150-mm gun. A machine cannon for antiaircraft was to be mounted in the turret roof, along with a smoke grenade projector. \n\nIn size, the Mouse was considerably larger than any German tank. Its length of 33 feet made it nearly 50 percent longer than the Royal Tiger. Because of rail transport considerations. its width was kept to 12 feet (that of the Royal Tiger and Tiger). A 12-foot height made it a considerable target. \n\n\nThis German drawing shows a sectionalized elevation of the Mouse hull. The following salient features may be diingtinguished: driver's seat (20) and periscope (14 and 18); radio operator's seat (12) and radio (21); radio antenna (28); air intakes for main engine (30); main engine (3); generator (4); the right motor of the two electric motors driving the sprockets (9); auxiliary fuel tank (29). The coaxial 75-mm gun is on the right of the turret; its position relative to the 128-mm gun is shown in dotted outline. \n\n\n\nA sectionalized plan view of the Mouse hull gives another view of many of the features shown in the first illustration. The driver's and radio operator's seats (left) are flanked by the main fuel tanks. Just to their rear is the main engine, flanked by air pumps and radiators. Further to the rear is the generator, with ammunition stowage in the sponsons on either side. In the sponson on the front right of the generator is the auxiliary engine, with storage batteries to its rear. To the rear of the hull, also in the sponsons, are the motors furnishing the electric drive. The actual transmission is in the deep part of hull between the motors, behind generator. \n\n\nIn order to reduce the ground pressure so that the tank could have some mobility, the tracks had to be made very wide—all of 43.3 inches. With the tracks taking up over 7 of its 12 feet of width, the Mouse presents a very strange appearance indeed from either a front or rear view. With such a track width, and a ground contact of 19 feet 3 inches, the Mouse keeps its ground pressure down to about 20 pounds per square inch—about twice that of the original Tiger. \n\nPOWER PLANTS \n\nDesigning an engine sufficiently powerful to provide motive power for the mammoth fighting vehicle was a serious problem. Though the Germans tried two engines, both around 1,200 horsepower (as compare

By far the British MBT Challenger 2, out in iraq the american equivilants couldnt keep up with the advance, although the challenger 2 had a few mods (making the challenger 2 oman) the funcionality of the tank was far superior to that of the americans. although the tank itself is by far the bast the americans have a far superiour comunications and satalite system than us brits, challenger 2 will probably adopt this in the near future.
