The E92 M3 is the first BMW I got and I love it but I also got a chance to drive an auto 335i coupe as a loaner for a day and it was pretty impressive itself in terms of DD power but to me the M is an overall better driving experience. The E46 M3 still turns heads, I still drool over seeing a black on black E46 M3, it is such a beautiful car and still is. If the E92 M didn't come out then I would've went with the E46.
If you're concerned about warranty then look into a third party that will give extended/ additional warranty on top of what you get. You may pay out a little more now for it but in the long term you'll be a little more at peace. Good Luck! |

E46 M3 is a better looking, much more involving driver oriented car. But (for me and my wife, at least) not suitable for more than short (couple of hours) drive. Which is why I bought an E92 M3 with EDC.
You should also consider the E46 issues with cracking in the rear subframe mounting area. These problems are real. |

a M3 is a RAW car... and would be my choice over any other BMW, even newer and faster.
M FTW!

E 46 M3 = Wild untamed monster, that will make you say "How can it make a turn like that!?"
335i = A torque monster (Sort of) that will make the city streets feel like a drag strip. When it comes down to it, it is a personal opinion. They are two different machines so you should drive both and buy the one you like!

So just wanted to give a quick update with you guys. I should have elaborated more on my I'm looking for in the car. Yes it's going to be a DD, but I am a very spirited driver, and I always want my cars ready to play. I hit the canyons a few times a week, and I'm sure it will see the track atleast 5 times a year.
I'm proud to say I will be picking up my 2006 Black E46 M3 w/ ZHP competition package next week. I drove the car and was stunned, not so much the motor, but just the feel of the vehichle, felt like driving a go kart on public streets. I hope I'm making the right choice, and I can't imagine how this thing is going to be in the canyons and at the track. I'm excited to say the least.
