I can't offer anything good, but I'll try.

Over E92 - although the S65 motor in the E92 can be made to sound badass, I prefer the sound of E46's S54 with the proper exhaust setup. E46 is lighter. It probably has better aftermarket support. Rod bearing wear can be tracked on E46 but not E9X, so you can tell when your motor is about to blow. It seems that bearing failure is random on E9X, and that is why I'm searching for an E36 instead of E90 for a DD M car.

Over STI because RWD is better than AWD. And I assume the STI is not natuarally aspirated with 8k+ RPM redline.

OP. Just a note on M2 - even though I know you were not really overly serious about the M2 comment.
They is from a News Section featured post on Hockenheim.

BMW M2 (DCT): 1:12.5
C63 S Coupe: 1:12.6
M4 Coupe (6MT): 1:12.8

Stfu shoei I can hear you thinking. I'm not defensive, I'm just saying, it is a viable option for OP as a "real M" car.

I feel like the quotes around the "real M" say it all. Nothing left for me to say. Too bad you didn't hear me thinking all the way up here eh?

Well I think these posts settle it.

In this thread, the M2 owners are a woman... and a JTodd
