I wouldn’t necessarily consider the E92 an ugly duckling, however, I’m with you on the E46. I love it. The interior styling and SMG are definately a bonus. Normally when I look at a car, I have to “feel” it, and I just don’t feel the E92. I can spend hours just looking at my E46 in the garage, and when I get the attention from onlookers during my daily driving, I can see how its attractiveness can be quite appealing. The E46 is certainly enough for me.

I am a former Mercedes Benz owner of at least 5 models, so having my first pre-owned E46 M3 is new to me. With that said, I have always liked the E46 body-style for years and, still today, would prefer its more shorter wheel-based and compact appearance. The Inline 6 (333 hp) is certainly enough for me. As most experience when a new model hits the market how difficult it is to accept change, I still enjoy the E46 and have no interest in ever changing my mind.

i feel so depressed having to degrade back to an e46 323ci after selling my e92 323i!!!! it feels a world of difference. boy is the quality in e46 bimmers so poor and old. seats materials DASH!! i mean it wudnt of been that bad if it was other way around, upgrading from e46 to e92. when will bmw ever change that crappy trade mark of theirs which is the stone aged orange bit matrix looking dash and audio system. even my old 93 rx7 has better dash board. and that is a 93 car. e92 and e46 sorry.. no comparison.

are you kidding me? serious? you call the new e92 m3 gutless and your e46 is faster? ok my friend. haha i love how you bash or hate of something only because you are bias and no nothing about the e92. dont be an old dog wit old tricks. e46 is nice bro.. back in its day.. but is now slowr and oldr interior is just discraceful compared to e92.

e92 m3 sucks. the only good thing about it is the dash layout. Its v8 is proposed dead, this is why the new m3 would have a 3.6 liters v6 engine (triturbo)
as for the styling, i would prefer the e46, unless you slap on the e92 m3 a vorsteiner gtrs widebody and paint it flat black.
as for the modding, the e46 is so much more tunable.
the thing is, id be lost when you compare e46 m3 with e9x 335. 335 is so much more tunable than the m3 and would outrun the m3 with the right mods (jb4 etc..). and since some companies are starting to produce aftermarket turbos for it, i recon it can hit 600-700 hp slap on an lsd and aftermarket suspention and it would STILL cost less than an e92 m3.

sir I have a E46 m3 and i have beaten the E 92 in four races, and i mean four different cars / drivers. my car is a 2002 model with a basic management chip, I’ve been to the dealers to test the new model and can tell you a fact the e92 is gutless in the midrange and is stupid on fuel. I would really like to buy another Bmw maybe the new 1 series M will be some improvement .

e46 all day. The body style is aggressive, and I don’t see that same look in the e92. Yes it does have a bigger engine and a better top end. But body style points, gas points, and price points go to e46. Power and interior points can go to the e92. I’d go with an 06 e46 m3. Last year with the e46 before the body change and it is still relatively a new car. My point about all of this is that you have to love how it looks or your going to hate driving it. And the e46 fills that void.

Hi I have a question. I’m from the Czech Republic. I want to buy a BMW / / / M3 E46. But I still ride in a BMW E36 328i Coupe. I was wondering if you think that / / / M3 E46 in two years to reduce its price? I have some tips that are around 18-20k Euros.

I like the e46 but your photos don’t allow a fair comparison. The E92 photos are poor and the e46 photos appear to be enhanced. Lets make it a true comparison or none at all.

I had a 325i back in 2007 then moved on to a e36 m3… Blah blah blah. Jesus Christ people did u even read what the article was about?

I geuss I never realized it until seeing the cars right next to each other, but I def like the e46 style better. Not feeling the pointing shark look, part of the intrigue to an m3 is the boxy sedan look with sports car performance.

I chose a well modded low mileage E46 M3 over the E92 M3. I just can’t seem to adjust to the E92 design. For some reason I love the 335 design better.

Anyway, besides buying the E46 M, I also traded in my ”06 durango for a ’2010 Honda Oddysey. So I got 2 cars for the price of the E92 M3. Never regretted my choices.

Great comparison and I agree with EVERGET – the e46m3 is already a classic. The E92 is pretty hot too!
