Nope.

1 series has way better quality & fit & finish, 3 series is on-par with the previous generation in fit & finish. 5 series has WAY better quality & fit & finish than the previous generations.
You know what, I remember people saying the very same thing when E46 M3 was released! Some were saying "M3 is not fun anymore, it's just another GT" !!!
A few years ago, if you look at the M5, M3 forums here, you would find people complaining about the gas mileage of M5 or M3, lack of torque in lower revs, dull interior, transmission-in M5, etc. All of these problems have been solved!
I really think the new M3/M4 will be pretty amazing. For years, the main complaint about the M3 was that it was getting heavier. So now, it will be lighter. There is always a compromise.
