E46 m3 or e92 m3?

What's up guys I'm planning to pick up another car and I have no budget so which one you guys prefer? There is a price difference between the 2 but I like the styling of the e46.I have a 07 gs350 but I need a fun weekend car !

E92. 4.0L V8 in E92 is exceptional.

^ Agree. While you can't fault the E46 for being a remarkable drivers car, the E92 4.0 is something to behold.

The E46 has personality. I got myself an e46 330i ZHP just days back.
Edit: here is somebody who moved from e46 to e92

Very clean rides im debating to get the e92 stock or e46 heavily modded with the extra money I save from not getting the e92

A friend has the E92 M3 and I find the S65 engine absolutely brilliant. Great throttle response and really rewarding when pushing deep into the rpms.

You could also buy an E92 335i and spend the money you save on mods. The twin turbo inline six responds very well to mods. With a simple programmer, intake, and cat back exhaust you can get about 150 more hp over stock out of it running E85 fuel. WIth just the programmer and slightly upping the boost they're faster than an E92 M3.
