Each, IMO, have characteristics that make them unique.
My old 320i had a "feel" that I have not felt in a BMW since. This is my personal preference however. More raw and simple. My 528e would squat down on the highway and just purr like a kitten. Best road trip car I have ever had.

40 years ago, my employer provided me with a car...a 320i. My boss decided to permit to upgrade my car, so I got a 528i which I drove for several years. I came to the conclusion that 'my car' was NOT the 5 Series, but the 3 Series, as I found the larger car to be less nimble/tossable, even though the larger displacement 6 cylinder engine made it more fun. Yes, the ride was smoother, too. But I wanted 'tossable fun' more than 'comfortable + faster'. I find my 2021 228i today to be closer to my 1987 320i; the 2001 and 2011 328i both remind me of the 1981 528i, somewhat less 'tossable', all three closer in size and weight!
