I guess it depends on what you are looking for. I agree that an e46 M3 would be a better overall track car and you really can't beat the handling of the M, but with tuning, the e46 M3 can't touch it with regard to straight line performance. All the extra torque can be nice for everyday driving. Plus, no regular 3-series has ever been as close to the M version as far as performance is concerned. For what it is, the 335i really is a beast.
I love the e46 as much as anyone, but I will have to admit that the e92 has grown on me to the point where I am starting to see the e46 as a classic design, but just a smidge dated. Especially if you look at how clean the front and rear bumpers look on an e92. I have a feeling that a lot of e46 lovers will take to the e92 as it ages. It really is a beautiful car, IMO. Especially with the CSL wheels.
