I think e46 kicked ass when it came out for all those years. Everyone was trying to catch up to it's performance. Now, i'm well aware of the technology that has gone in to the e92. I'm an IT guy, i love technology.. i respect the e92 m3... but with LS-F, C63, RS4 out (i know e92 won all reviews, still it out performaned maybe on track... 10% of us would actually go on the track with our M3s... and we'd do it prolly around 4 times the most in a year...
Street wise, does the m3 still kick ass just as hard as the e46 did versus it's competition????

Looking at it from today, cause that's all we have...the new M3 Kicks ass WAY harder than the E46 M did!
2001 911 Carrera 300 BHP( up to 320 BHP in 2002) / 2001 E46 M3 333BHP
2008 Carrera 325 BHP / 2008 E9x M3 415 BHP
Street wise, the M3 takes on the likes of Porsche MUCH more than the E46 did, and we ALL know, it eats up the direct competition, such as S5, RS4, C63AMG, IS-350 etc...
Also, as I've said in MANY other threads, 1, 2 and 3 year old 911 owners and 996 911 Turbo owners as well (such as myself) are moving to the M3
In 2001, we didn't have the Carrera owners selling or trading their 1, 2 or 3 year old Porsches just to get into an M!! And, it AINT JUST about the horsepower, it's the WHOLE package!! Believe that!!
