I'll leave this quote here from Motortrend:

"Popular internet opinion says the new M3 is now really an M5. The reality is that's in the M5's dreams. Aside from the fact that the G80 M3 is more than 400 pounds lighter than the current F90 M5, the G80 M3 is also around 200 pounds lighter than the legendary E39 M5. Even the 311-hp E34 M5 weighs 100 pounds more than this car. No M5 has ever felt this fleet, this exact, this sporting. Sorry, internet, but that's the truth."

And the exterior of both cars is controversial.

The E63 is actually really close to the G82 overall due to being smaller and lighter than the E60
