Actually, I'd probably choose the 335i sedan over the coupe.

I'd choose the M3 because I rarely see them and the stance is just best.

E46 M3. Looks better IMO, it just looks so good. Wouldn't change a thing about its exterior unless it involved the letters C, S & L. The E90 just looks like it won't age well.
But I agree with Chrometide. E39 M5 ftw. Timeless design. And I always wished they made an E46 M3 sedan....

for real? i see m3's everywhere. it was special 4-5 years ago, but it's getting old.

It's really a toss up. I like the M3, but if I get the E46 M3 and the new one comes out... It'd make the E46 look old. The 335i isn't as fast but can modify it easily. Tough choice........... but I went with 335.
#23
i'd go with the M3. Personally, I'm not too crazy about the new 3 series styling and whether it's old or not, I think the M3 overall is a much better purchase for the money. I've never been the kind of person that needs to have the newest version of anything, so the M3 would be a better choice for me on that aspect as well.

335 FTW. It's got a better ride, it's nearly as fast (and can easily be modded to be faster), and one of the many body kits will differentiate you from 99% of other e92s (I like the M5 replica kit the best). Not to mention its a 5 year newer car and has better technology and a better interior.

335. The E46s look really dated to me now... not that they don't still catch my eye. And the 335s are much more rare around here since they're new, yeah I know that will change. They're almost as fast and I'd rather have a new car with free maintenance and a warranty.
#31
I said M3 just because it seems like a modern classic. I like the stance when looking from the rear.
In reality I wouldn't get either because I like sedans. Would like to see another M3 sedan come out.

M3's are a dime a dozen out here

I'd go with a 335i ... E46 M3 is going to be trumped by the new model V8 thus the resale value will go down the tubes. I will admit the looks of the E46 does appear better to me but the current gen 3-series is growing on me.

this is the question which is killing me.
M3:
proven reliability (04-06), NA engine (more stable IMO), More ergonomi interior, driver oriented cockpit, no modding necessary(short of blower not really practicle either)
335:
newer, warranty longer, torque, modibility (although it will mess up warranty).

They're totally different driving experiences, but I'd take the 335i hands down. It's a much more refined daily driver and by the looks of things, it's already got a strong aftermarket following.
I think people are going to have a hard time unloading the E46 M3's in the near future.

e46 m3. aggressive stance, etter handeling and more of a drivers car.
drop a AA blower on it and push out 400--450 wheel hp or more. that would be a beast on the track and street.
plus i always loved the design

i voted for the 335.
i think it looks better inside/out. the e46 looks too outdated now, though it is a beautiful car. and it's way too common now. but i'm sure the 335 and new m3 will be too.
