The E30 M3 differs from a G80 M3 primarily because of the era in which it was produced. Cars were significantly lighter 40 years ago, and that's the real difference in the two cars.
Like you, I much prefer the older, lighter, more raw M cars to the new M cars, but that's a personal thing. It comes down to what you want from your M car; outright performance or feel.

Oh no. The E30 M3 differs because, while initially based on the E30 chassis, it was specifically redesigned to race. In order to be legall in the series, they had to make a certain number of street versions. It remains the winningest race car ever. G80 not even in the same league.
