Well, like I noted.... Unless he drops over 400 lbs off the car with all bolt-ons or S/C or turbos, the E46 M3 doesn't stand a chance straight line. Power to weight is way off comparing the two.
And the E36 M3 is quite a bit slower than the E46 M3, unless turbo charged.
Stock E92 M3 power: 414 BHP
Modified E46 M3 power (guessed): 375 BHP
Stock E92 M3 Power to weight (average E92 M3= 3544 lbs): 8.56 lbs/ BHP
Modifed E46 M3 (as above) Power to weight (average E46 M3= 3415 lbs): 9.11 lbs/ BHP
Power to weight is close, but no close enough apparently. Around a track might be a different story, but we will never know.
There is no replacement for displacement...
