![]() ![]() ![]() That first M3, based on the E30 saloon, was an unqualified success in every respect. Like so many of the greatest road cars, the M3 started off on the circuit, only finding its way onto autobahns because 5000 road cars were required to satisfy homologation requirements. Yet the moniker has come to stand for something quite different to the original E30 that BMW first revealed at the ’85 Frankfurt Motor Show. Here are three reasons why: the three greatest M3s of their generation, an E30 Sport Evo, an E36 Evo saloon and an E46 CSL, made-in-metal reminders of everything the M3 stands for. BMW is launching a new one and can’t afford to get it wrong. One letter and one number that combined are as globally recognisable as Schuey’s chin. The badge, the name, is universally understood. No confusion, just instant comprehension. The ultimate BMW M3 test: E30 Sport Evo v E36 Evo v E46 CSL
