Interesting how different the perspectives around the M3 brand were back then. From their view, a V8 E46 M3 made sense since the E30 was I4 and E36 was I6 and the E46 was going to be a “heavy” 3,400 pounds and needed the bigger engine.
Also, more than a few initial reactions to the first E46 M pics compared it to a Civic, LOL. The E46 M design was more love/hate in those early days than one would think (mostly prior to actual cars hitting the streets). Obviously, nothing like the G8x reception, but the love wasn’t quite as unanimous as one might expect.
