Best looking M3 generation?
BMWBlog ranks the M3 by generation.
https://www.bmwblog.com/2020/10/13/g...ank-among-m3s/ Do you agree with them? If not, which do you think is best? And what order would you rank them all? |

E46 is definitively best looking M3, even today.
New M3 are faster, but driving feel in E46 is something to be desired in todays ///M cars.

I'd say every generation has its charm... except for G80. That thing is just ugly.

Same.
I'm going to voice an unpopular opinion here. The new G's are starting to look attractive to me. Something is wrong in my life, but the more I look at them, the more I like them. I am tired of seeing that hideous green though. Show me one in nardo, matte gray or a blacked out version. |

My wife was asking what the new M3 was to look like. Told her to look it up. Her eyes went big and “OH MY GOD” came out. In her best Jake from State Farm commercial voice, “Well that looks hideous.” |

No way in hell is the e90 #1. Especially in sedan form.

Can we get a post with them all as I don't know the BMW codes. The first one or two were very good looking, as was the generation that just passed. Issue with the last gen is the car is now a full blown muscle car, closer to a Mustang than a sports sedan.

Bottom line, it is so different and so obnoxious and that's the appeal. But wait till you put a US license plate on the front or no license plate that all and you will see this gaping bucktooth nightmare that's asymmetrical. Chris Harris described it the best: "The new M3 and M4 appearing to have borrowed facial features from a yawning rabbit" |

My ranking based on looks is E46, F80, E36, E30, E92, Gugly. Based on driving it is probably E46, E30, E36, E92, F80. The F80 is remarkable and very capable, but also detatched from the road. The E30 is purest, but E46 gives a lot more for little sacrifice. IMO, of course. |

Imo anyone voting E9x is really voting for the E92 as they look quite sharp except the rear bumper
They all look good except G80 But i like the E36 best personally
