OP: what was the competition in 01 to the M3? Hmmm nothing apples to apples... the mags had to compare it to a vette or boxter. So it had the crown all to itself.
Now everybody has a "M version" of their mid sedan so by default the gap is smaller. The RS4\MB\09 CTSV\S5 are all stellar cars in their own right, some of them do some things better than the M3 some dont.
IMO the M3 is still the best all around sedan in this class, however not everybody will prefer the M as their first choice so Lexus\MB\Audi will get their sales simply from having a car in this segment. Maybe they like an auto, Lexus service, brand loyal, etc etc...
