The E36 was the first generation of the BMW M3 and was produced from 1992-1999. It features a 3.0L inline 6 engine and a 5-speed manual transmission. The E46 was the second generation of the BMW M3 and was produced from 2000-2006. It features a 3.2L inline 6 engine and a 6-speed manual transmission.

The E36 is known for its balanced handling and precise steering, while the E46 has a more powerful engine and improved suspension. Both are excellent choices, but the E36 is more affordable and easier to find parts for if you plan on modifying it.
