Not only subjective but also very limited.
The m3 only came around in the mid 80's and bmw is far far older than that.
The've raced the 2002 extensively, the e9 (Csl) was very succesful etc etc
The 'm3' only made the reputation because they call certain cars m3 over and over again; it's now the fifth generation, but all those cars have nothing in common except the name. So if a car built the reputation, which M3 specifically do you mean?
The interweb tales probably say the e30 was the most succesful, but in which class etc? probably a fact copied out of some old book because the production numbers of the e30 m3 were very low.
