The euro e36 m3 (the 2nd gen, launched in 1995) was so far ahead in it's time.
Just look at what kind of cars/engines you had to get to match that 320hp back in 1995. (and what some of those cars weighed)
On par with the ferrari 348 (outgoing model in 1995) and not far behind with the f355. (I compare it to ferrari's because comparisons to audi and mercedes are just comical)
That would be equivalent with an M3 now having about 670Hp (number of hp that the 488 has)
As the current m3 only has 510HP, BMW definately has lost it's edge to the competition in comparison to 25 years ago.
