The M3, has worked out so much, it's no longer an Olympian, it's been governed by marketing for too long. Thus Glorified!
I don't care what you call it, but what E30 M3 driver wouldn't want to get his/her hand's on one?
No dogma!

Personally I think the E30 M3 has been overly glorified. It was a great car in it's time, but you can't get that kind of driving feel without driving a tin can. See the Lotus Elise/Exige for example. If someone wants an E30 M3, go find one. That car cannot be built by BMW today. And the 1M will never be an E30 M3. It's called progress.
Besides I was 8 years old when the E30 M3 was being sold. I don't remember how it drove because I never drove one. Most nostalgia of old cars tend to be just that. Drive the car today and it's not as great as you think. For it's time, yes. But you can't drive an E30 M3 and an E92 M3 side by side and say you'd rather own the E30.
