I have a 2015 335Msport and an e36 M3/4/5. The f30 is my DD and an auto. I love the f30 but it's so completely different in every respect. It's not a good canyon carver, it weighs a ton, it's huge, numb driver feel. On the plus side it's freakin' fast, very comfortable as a daily -even in sport mode, and it has every bell and whistle an old guy can hope for. Apples to oranges between these two.

doesn't seem like the facelift helped.

I've pretty well settled on my next car being a non wide body e46 m3 sedan. 245 or 235's square on 17s. No sunroof, non fold through seats (which puts it just shy of e9x chassis rigidity. Some custom valved bilsteins with shortened bump stops. M3 drivetrain/brakes/suspension outside of shocks. Subframe foam and beisan, meaning no significant failure points. SSV2 stepped headers, euro M3 section 1, stock section 2, and a muffler SS says they'll make me with e46 non M mounting points and M3 pipe diameters... meaning I keep the full size spare. Maybe a 332mm bbk, maybe not. And then DD the crap out of it, keeping the powerful/light/modded e46 M3 coupe for special occasions and tracking.
The M5 puts to sleep with it's torque, isolation, and "easy" speed, and the e9Xm and F3X are worse. The F8X will be unownable out of warranty, the steering feel is shit, and I hate the power delivery (both the torque, the lag, and the falling on its face after 6000rpm). And the F8Xm is far better than anything else they've made for years and years. I have yet to experience any EPS car I feel comfortable pushing to the limit. Without the steering conveying when you're running out of grip, is much harder to live at the edge of grip.

When I grew up, BMW were RWD sedans with surprising power and understated looks. They certainly weren't the twin turbo, flappy paddle, "look-at-me I'm angry" lux-o-barges they've become.
