A couple of e46 issues. Have one with 50K miles and it appears to be pretty much bulletproof but there are some issues. First is the known e46 rear subframe issue. Don't know if this will bite people - but the suspension is stiffer than a stock e46 so there is more stress on the mounting points. Mine shows no stress cracks -- yet. Second, this car doesn't fit me well - I am 6'1". 3rd, although my e90 m3 is now my daily driver - the e46 zhp is far less hard edged - and actually would make a better daily driver for commuting. Can't compare to a e90 sport - although I did drive an e90 328 and it was a dog.
