Put a more powerful V8 either N/A or Turbo, something. Until then I will continue to enjoy my powerful 500+ HP and 480+ TQ C63, which BTW handles almost as well as the M3, speaking from experience.

The torque improvement between a E92 and a E46 is greater then the improvement between a E46 and a E36 which you loved and considered a major improvement.
The E46 gained 26 lb.ft. of torque over the E36
The E92 gained 33 lb.ft. of torque over the E46
I agree that more power would be better, of course. But I dont think its the power between the E46 and the E92 that you are disappointed in, I think its just the overall feel of the car. That and you're driving a 3.3 second car lol
