Let's rank it by the model itself not some one-off extreme example. The ranking should be taken as a whole by model line.
I never owned an e36. But from test drives and being a passenger I remember coming away feeling "What a cheap piece of ....". Of all the 3-series, the e36 interior and exterior was most disappointing.
My ranking is the e46 is easily the best era. Followed by:
e30 (just look at the used value!)
e90 (last of the true Ultimate Driving Machine)
The f30 isn't bad in itself. LCI F30 is handsome and in sport package is quite good. Just that it lost the driver's feel and competition has caught and/or surpassed it. BMW compensated with M stuff. But the damage has been done. BMW had to concede its crown for the first time since the invention of luxury sports sedan. For that, the F30 is unforgiveable.
No comment on the G20. It needs more time to prove itself. Alas thanks to the F30, BMW has to fight back up the hill for the crown. Is that still be worn by the Giulia or Tesla 3 now?
