My friend and I swapped cars for today. He drives a E46 M3, among many other nice cars, 6MT with upgraded suspension, race bucket seats, and a SSK (UUC's i believe)
I dont know but i really wish i bought a E46 M3 instead of the E92. I have to say I understand when people said they were disappointed with E92 after having owned a E46 M3.
Clutch was much easier to operate in E46 than E92, shifts are a lot smoother (i have to give some of the credit to UUC's SSK though). Steering was more precise, the car felt like a Z4M, very tossable, it's so much fun. a go-kart!!
i admit i like the less-refined M3 than my current M3. but keep in mind that this is based on "street fun" not track or really spirited driving. Maybe i'll have my friend post his impressions on the E92 compared to E46 haha
i like to believe E92 M3 has some animal inside of it that's at least as much fun as E46 M3...
in any case high revving engines FTW
PS my balls are squished coz of the fucking seats now
