> I think we're talking about E46s too much.
True. Common knowledge says e30 m3 is hardcore, e36 m3 is all marketing en e46 M3 is a true ///M again. I think it is bull****************. e30 M3 is a typical ///M too, being a very good compromis. It's the lightest though and if you buy lots of mods and throw $$$ into it it gets hardcore. e46/e36 are very similar in driving experience. There is not much between them. At least the e36 M3 EVO (3.2/321bhp) I drove.
> E46 M3 - Not a fan of the exhaust rasp
Well I am a big fan and it is so typical for the e46 M3/S54 engine. It's great stepping on the pedal @3000rpm with the windows open. Rasp all the way and an eager engine revving to 8000rpm :-)
No let's talk about Boxster's...
My BoxsterS has a PSE with open valves (no vacuum lines attached) and has a de-snorked air intake. Stepping on it driving topless is like XXX as well
Oh another difference between the cars: I think the BoxsterS is easier / cheaper on maintenance. ///M engine / drive-train parts are $$$ and ///M engine's have valve tappets with shims so they have to be check/adjusted regularly. BoxsterS has hydrolic tappets...
Mark.
