Thought that the E46 would be similar, or even better... only drove a SMG Cabriolet (was going to get a coupe) and was dissapointed to say the least.
Cancelled the order and dropped a cheque off at the Chevy dealership instead... 
The E46 is a gorgeous car though, can't deny the looks.

I believe the actual Euro engines , post 95 where they were upgraded from 3.0l to 3.2l, were actually producing 321hp. The Canadian version, while still more powerful than the American one, was still detuned from the original Euro engine.
I could be mistaken though
