I do agree that the E92 is a soft car compared to the previous models of M3s.
I hope you meant E46 because that would make sense. However, the Z responds to bolt on's better than the e46 and baseline will make more power to the wheels. At my last dyno day a stock e46 put down 282whp whereas I put down 296whp.

Frankly if you can get a new car with warranty for the same price you can get an older M why wouldn't you want a new car?

I don't mind M guys coming on here, especially e46 M3 guys, I know enough of them to know how you guys are. However, lets be real, the Z is faster than the e46 M3, handles just as well if not better, is cheaper to mod, and is still in the opening stages when it comes to aftermarket parts available. Frankly the only thing the e46 M3 has is 2 extra tiny seats and a BMW badge, but for some that's enough.
