Humbly speaking, I don't think F80 M3 is a miss. Just the opposite. I almost bought one but decided that for daily driving 440i GC would be more practical. |
For the record dear Top Gear - The F80 was not a miss.
Perhaps it's not as touchy feely or engaging as the NA, hydraulic steering cars of yesteryear but IMHO it is the BEST overall all rounder do everything car on this list. It's an absolute beast as a 4 door performance sedan with available 6MT and it is one of the best looking best proportioned cars M has ever made, not too big, not too small. It is also the last of the M3 lineage as the G80 with its size, weight, terrible looks and electric hand brake is an M3 in name only.
The first 4 gens of M3 are all sublime in their own ways but the F80 stands tall with all of them.
Dismounting from my high horse now.
PS the Giulia is not better looking, crazy Brits fall head over heels for anything Italian
