It's all about evolution, the M3 was the top dog for several generations, have had a chance to perfect their product.
now there are many entries into the category, getting close.
1. Benz has gotten a lot better, use to be to soft.
2. Lexus, 1st try out is a hell of a try.
3. RS4 was better than the E46 M3, now the New M3 is better.
even for me, I always liked Corvettes, but wasn't impressed by their performance or looks until the C6 came out and waited for a mid cycle change, which I choose the 08 LS3, now if the Corvette did not evolve, I would have waited for the M3.
I've always bought BMW's, due to the driving dynamics and performance. Have to admit in 2001, an E46 M3 would do 13.0-13.2 consistently at Moroso, in 2001 that was very impressive.
