My friend has an e46 M3 and we switch cars once in a while just to drive. Id say performance wise the M3 takes the cake, by a small margin. You also get the extra seats, more luxury items, and that engine is amazing!

The Z is better at road feel (IMO) and a better exhaust note. Plus you get the warranty...haha. The best part about owning the Z is the community I think. At least that is how it is here in NorCal. I went on a Z run in early August and all makes and models were able to join even my M3 friend joined in. The BMW crowd around here is pretty exclusive a little douchie.
