    The biggest jump in performance was the E46 M3. It is an absolute blast to drive. The modern design still holds up today. With that said my heart and bias is with the e92 M3 that I own. 8 years later I still get excited driving this car. It has been the most reliable car I have ever owned besides all the stories you hear about these cars. I plan to keep this car for a very long time. I wish I could own all the older M cars as I have been fortunate to drive them all. The newer M3/M4’s blow away my M3 in terms of performance, but it doesn’t feel special. It’s hard to beat that beautiful sound of the V8.

      It really wasn't that much quicker than the European E36 Evo. 321 bhp vs 340 or maybe 360 (depending on who you believe). Are you American? The E36 M3 you had was not the full power version at all.

    Had 2 3lt E36 m3s a few years ago, 5 speed was a better choice around a track because the 6th gear was only really for fuel saving but the box was the same size. The 5speed took a load more abuse. That said, we stripped all the sound proofing it of them. Best mod idea ever, holy crap, the sound above 6500rpm.

    I drove a few m3's in my life, and what I can say is the older ones got the mechanical analog things down. And they each have their own character about them. But while I was in Berlin backpacking around and ended up at a car show (with an actual BMW M division engineer at the time Nov 2019) . We talked about "the best M3 car" and he said at the office, what most including himself think, "the latest M3 is always the best". Now I believe him in the sense that on paper and on proven science... yeah its probably the most efficient, and most powerful, and most useable, and practical, and etc. And its supposed to be that way for every single M variant model. I love the look of the E92 personally, its just timeless. But I cant lie when I say, "2018 M3 with the Competition Package is a damn fun car to drive and is faster than the driver I will ever be. First car I knew I wasn't going to be able to drive it to its limits safely. Not on a public road in any shape way or form".

    If you want the ultimate driving machine the e46 m3 gives an experience unlike any other bmw. The balance is exceptional the engine screams at high rpm and around a track i had endless fun with it. And while its slow by modern standards the handling is the main reason to buy one. Currently it is one of the best performance bargains out there, that is if you are a good wrench and are willing to put in the work to maintain it.

    Nice, but if reliability is and with most. The E92 328i naturally aspirated is the ticket. Pull the mantaiance and Google to go. Of course every car has there issue's after 100,000 miles you should change the valve cover gaskets, and the tricky water pump if it's leaking. But more than that it a bomb to drive. Yes the car is for us one of the most reliable BMW money can buy..!

    One of the last RWD NA V8 manuals of the modern era - LSD, hydraulic steering. IMO, the E92 is not only the best M3, it's one of the best road cars. The S65 won international engine of the year every year it was manufactured. As a car, it may not be the best in any arena but it works so well in almost all arenas. Might not be as track focussed as the E46 but will beat it on every track. Might not be as powerful as the F80 but once you're past 6000rpm, it's just a more magical place to be. It can take a family of 4 on a road trip in class, with full luggage. And it can light up the rear tyres at will if you want to be a hooligan. We'll look back on this era as the peak of the ICE before emissions standards played a bigger part. The soundtrack is simply addictive. The E46 might be a purer, lower-fi experience but you just feel the lack of power vs modern cars and are just left wanting more. Say, about 70hp more...

    The E46 M3 is an iconic RWD sports coupe, worthy of respect from all enthusiasts.
    The E90 M3, with it's sedan layout, and it's high revving V8, is my favorite.
    Then again, the E60 M5 is the vehicle I'd choose to take on a long highway road trip.
    But on the flipped side, if you own an E30 M3, you gain instant clout points at every car meet.
    But come to think of it, the E63 M6 gives off a very "Batmobile" vibe.
