G80 in manual form is basically a refined, muscular e39 M5 without the road feel. G80 comp and x drive are insane dual use daily and track weapons.
My advice is to appreciate the uniqueness without being too nostalgic.

I don't disagree that they all have qualities that are unique to them. The E36 M3 is light and has fantastic intake noise. The E46 M3 had a lot of feel and handled well for that period, it's also a looker. There is a lot to love about the E9X and the F8X. But to say that unless you own an E-chassis car you own a "digital computer" (whatever that is), is laughable.
