That's because 'world's greatest all-round' car doesn't make any sense. What's an all-round car? The car isn't flexible in boot space, cannot go off road and cannot properly house five grown men....

They just really like the M3 sedan

Very true. The M5 touring is a better all rounder, if not the X5-M

535d Touring is the best all rounder due to having much greater range than any M car.

Actually, it's the greatest All-Around car, not All-round!

Oh, but I understand what they mean and I agree.

It is the one car you want if you can have only one. Of course it changes from person to person. And it is the M3 sedan with a a proper manual transmission for me. And I bet it is so for majority of the enthusiasts.

This is what I get a feel, it's happening also. I think the RS4 can do all this "all-around" stuff, much better.

I'd still go for a coupé with DCT over a manual sedan. I'll be like half a second faster then....
