The g8x is objectively a very capable, competent, well built all rounder. Improves on everything the f8x was good at, except without the incredible styling. Its a sledgehammer of a machine. If you go into it with that expectation its a great car. If your expecting the emotion and connection of old, luckily BMW have an excellent back catalogue to choose from  |
I recall the E46 was worse than than the USDM E36 for ratio.
Definitely both are very high fidelity in feedback, but the steering response was so lazy that I actually enjoyed my B6 S4 more than my e46 M3 when I had both at the same time.
At any rate, the ZCP/CSL rack on the e46 fixed that piece but I must say that stepping from an standard E46 M3 to a E92 335i was a wtf moment that wasn't favoring the e46 m3.
