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.
My daily driver is E46 328i and E30 325 weekends. 328i is more responsive with Signature Motoring performance (CAI) intake kit. Installed it myself in under half hour. HP increase on the E46 is about 13.5HP for a cost of $170 or around $17 per HP gain. Best 1st performance mod to do. Other application data:
I have an E46 330i and the only performance item I have is the Signature Motoring performance CAI for about $160. The performance kit adds around 13.5HP on the dyno, sounds freaking great, and installs in under 30 minutes. Highly recommended.
-13.5 HP increase
-Lifetime filter
-SOUND AWESOME
-30 min. install time
Aside from the power gain, the SOUND is amazing at higher RPM but sounds normal in regular driving. I’m thinking about added high-flow exhaust next.
Agree with Jaybrn, all of the 6 cylinder BMW engines sound better on WOT than at low rev, but I have to be honest this doesn't sound very nice at all for an M3. Looks fantastic though.

-Installs in round 45min.
-Guaranteed HP increase
-Induction sound to die for
-Awesome fit/finish.
See my video of how it sounds AND performs!

E46 M3's definitely sound better under load than revving

I like the rasp of a stock E46 M3 exhaust. However, this one is OK too.

Not hearing the rasp the others are.....sounds pretty decent to me for an e46.

The cats rasp is ruining everything. A common E46 issue, change the cats and the sound will be much more enjoyable ;)
