Yes. I have an E46 M3 Coupe. The body shell is stronger (well apart from the subframe), The front and rear arches are wider than a standard E46. The interior is a very nice place to sit and the stereo is excellent. The steering is quicker, the brakes are bigger, has a six speed box.
I have the SMG which is an awesome bit of kit. You hear all the horror stories but the internet never has "my SMG has done 150,000 without a problem". They sold 1,000's of SMG's and like the Boxster and 996 IMSB issues they are blown out of proportion.
If my wife and I taking the M3 out I have to flip a coin to see who's driving. She likes it that much.
Oh....and then there's that sweet I6 that pulls all the way to 8,000rpm. Makes more than 100bhp/lt and around town taking it easy I get 10lt/100kms. On the open road 8-9lt/100kms.
