The granddaddy of M-cars is obviously sub-zero.

Andy Warhol painted them.

Who cares about performance? When chicks will dig it, all you'll need to worry about is your own performance. This car is subzero in terms of coolness.

Saw one of these while in Europe this summer and it's a really cool looking car, it looks better in the flesh than in pics...so I voted cool.

Umm, this one is actually kinda hard. No denying the legacy it has created. All the M cars and the Motorsport Division came because of this car. So it is definitely iconic.

But . . . and it is a BIG BUT. . . it wasn't that accomplish as a racer. And that I think is enough for me to take it out of Subzero.

"Cool"
