People like the MZ3, especially the S54, because it’s a really fun car to be in. It’s communicative. Also, unlike the 1M, it was fast in its day. (The 1M is a great driver’s car, but the objective performance wasn’t very good.)

I'm more talking about the design not the machinery underneath (though e30-based rear suspension in the late 90's and early 00's? Sad!).
While I said "parts bin", that's not necessarily derogatory if they wrapped those parts in a body designed by a proper shop, as the 1M was. And, now that we are comparing tastes, I happen to like the e82.
The z3 coupe in comparison seems to have been designed by an unhappy child told to put a roof on the z3 roadster (which itself was quite acceptable).
