The E46 looks much more robust than the E36 IMHO. I would put in the Signature Motoring performance intake kit for only around $150 and gain up to 13HP on the stock output for the 330i and a bit less for the 325 and 328. I highly recommend this item, see my youtube channel for the action video on it.
Because it didnt trap the 1/4 mile like an American car? They werent desgned specifically for 1/4 mile, but the new V8 can still hit 12's without a problem. Main thing about this video is neither person got a very good 1/4th mile time. I think a little too much wheelspin was going on.
Both are great car~ E92 M3 is definitely faster, but E46 has better look. More classic and more decent in the look. Much more mascular. But seriously, both are awesome awesome cars
you mean 333 horsepower. and 274 horsepower to the wheels. why do you think people beef up there m3's? they find that 274 horses to the wheels are not enough and i don't blame them.
Yeah its also a V-8 which wouldn't have anything at all to do with that statement...o wait. Both great cars but they are two different engines so you can't really compare...
the E46 has the advantage of the SMG2 with launch control, not to mention less weight. it still wouldn't be enough to keep up with the E90's V8, but a few adjustments to the 46 and an average driver in the E90 would be enough to level the field i would say. and i have little doubt the E46 CSL version with a good driver could outdo the E90 on the strip. I'm not certain but i don't think that this E46 is a CSL...
No it can't. The new M3 coupe/sedan run tested 1/4 mile in 12.5 - 12.7 secs at 113 mph while the old E46 M3 ran a best of tested 1/4 mile in 13.2 - 13.4 secs @ 105 mph.
The difference is too big, but put a bad driver in the new M3 and a great in the old then anything is possible.
Come on people lets get real!! Having been offered anyone of the two who would really take the e46 although it's a fantastic car....it just isn't as sharp and refined as the e92..some of you should welcome a change especially for the better. "And please don't give me the whole with a few mods it'll over take the e92" same applies..upgrade the V8!
I have driven both, E46 hands down. With some camwork, ecu tuning intake, exhaust and right suspension, it would pull the v8. These also look muuuuch better
i like the 46 cuz of the body style of the car the 92 is too big... i dont understand why they are making cars in bigger body styles!!????? it puts on more weight and ur slower... i would love the 46 gtr version cuz that has a v8 but they are rare to find
I will race any e93 m3 at any track near the chicago area with my e46 no turbo no supercharger... head's up.. and smoke it. cause e46's are better...lol.
Why is everyone so surprised by this? The E92 is a tank at 3,700 pounds, and only has around 30 more lb-ft of torque. I test drove an E92 and wasn't NOT impressed enough to sell my '06 M3 coupe.
Trying to make yourself feel better?? E92 M3 driver does not know how to race. Period. It still runs a 12.5 - 12.7 secs and traps at 113 MPH consistently. The best a stock E46 M3 EVER would run is 13.3 - 13.4. Look at GTBoard videos of M3 CSL vs E92 M3 and the E92 M3 R*PED the CSL, which in turn is much faster than a stock E46 M3.
e46 for ever the straight6 engine is just amazing
