e46 was peak m3. e30 m3 was a race car sold to public just to satisfy homologation requirements. I had one, it was a blast on a track but horrible to drive on the street due to the S14 engine needing to be wrung out to bring it to life. e36 m3 was the first mass produced m3 but the US version was detuned and felt soft. Never really warmed to it. e46 m3 was a proper street car that you could take on the track on weekends and really enjoy it. The s54 engine is still an amazing motor to this day. I've raced e46 and e92 m3s and while the v8 is very nice the additional weight on the e9x chassis just doesn't give it the balance the e46 had. No idea on f80 I skipped than gen altogether. G80 is an amazing all rounder but the e46 m3 was just ground breaking when it came out over 20 years ago.
