I have both a e46 manual coupe and 1M and have owned both of them from new.
Whilst I love both cars they are very different from each other, the 1M feels like a complete hooligan next to the M3's classic M car approach.
I've modded both over the years I've owned them to turn them into my ultimate road spec m cars.
My m3 has CSL faster steering rack, CSL wheels, ap racing brakes, ac schnitzer rs suspension, short shift, 100 cell cats, carbon induction, recaro seats, remap and has covered just 7900miles and is in time warp condition.
My 1M has bmw performance seats, forge intercooler, solid charge pipe, ac schnitzer rs suspension, n55 mids, Akrapovic exhaust, 18inch 260m wheels and will have a big brake kit fitted this year and has currently done 7800miles.
