The M3 was in the 2008 version of the test. It was ranked 3rd behind the R8 and the GT-R.
The only car from the 2008 test that is included in the 2009 test is the 2008 winner (the R8). I don't think they include a car again unless it has been significantly updated, like the Cayman S in 2009. So, hopefully, the GT-3 will be in the 2010 test.
Note that the tests and criteria have changed quite a bit since 2008.
Now, for those who need cheering up, here is what they said about the M3 in 2008:
"We expected the new BMW M3 (3rd place) to finish strong; it's simply one of our all-around favorite cars. Pobst gushed over its sublime responsiveness and grace, scoring it second. On our instrumented tests, the BMW delivered a second-best step-steer time, midpack lane-change speed, a top-place finish in ride quality, and one of the smoothest, tightest traces (despite high performance limits) on our figure-eight test. Most important, the M3 delivers handling performance you can utilize fully on your favorite roads. Steering feel, balance, chassis feedback, grip-the M3 covers every important base as few other cars in the world today can."
