The E36 M3 was luxurious when introduced and a safe car compared to a top rated current kia/ 3 series. I have yet to meet an E30/36 M3 driver who is concerned of yhe safety of the car.

You can't be serious with the safety in the E30- that thing has more body flex than you can imagine and is like driving a tin can compared to today's cars- let alone how it would handle a hit from an SUV. It's a hoot to drive but safety is an issue- a Smart car is safer as it should be. Not sure how you are declaring the BRZ to be "safe" as crash test info has yet to be published.
The E30 M3 in full race spec and cage as developed by BMW Motorsport had less torsional rigidity than the first generation X5- and that comes directly from the head of BMW M development who was the head of that M3 project and the X5; Albert Biermann.
