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.
You can pick up an E92 for the same price as a new 370z. However, an E46 is third the price, or half if you want to get a low mileaged one.

The 0-60 and 1/4 mile times is identical to one another.

The top gear lap times comparing 2 cars 10 years apart is nonsense.
