We compare a stock BMW E46 M3 against a stock E46 330ci, looking at the exterior, interior and driving differences, including their exhaust notes. Both are great cars, the 330CI is definitely a performance bargain but can it really touch the M3 when it comes to how it drives? Watch to find out!

A few questions have popped up about these cars that we didn't talk about in the video, both are silver grey 2004 LCI (facelift) versions of the E46 platform.
