As a millennial currently daily driving a G30 530i m-sport and having an E36 M3 as a weekend car and coming from an E90 328, I will say that from a technical standpoint, the G30 is superior.

But from an enjoyment perspective, both my E36 and E90 are more fun, more enjoyable, and I'd take either one of them over the G30 if I had to pick just one car. I'm not waxing nostalgic. There are days I've driven the G30 and E36 back to back and I vastly prefer the E36. Due to some back issues, I need the multi contour seats in the G30 as a daily, but thats the only reason I'm driving it.

When the lease on the G30 is up, I'm either going to go M2c to get some of that fun back, or E39 or E90 to have a nice balance between comfort and driving enjoyment. If my E90 wasn't destroyed, I'd still be driving it.
