By all means the M3 is the best choice. It depends on what lifestyle you want to project. If you are working in any corporate job that involves sales or marketing/real state.
The BMW fits your outfit. Makes you close more deals.

My 2 cents.
I too think that the e46 M3 is the best one. The e92 is a bit too soft. However, the e46 M3 is expensive to keep. I have to replace bunch of stuffs with less than 50k miles and most repair was $500+. Probably one of the best inline 6, but the vano is problematic. Much like the IMS problems with the Porsche 997.1 and 996, it can grenade the engine.

In term of lifestyle, it is so subjective that you can't put a price tag on it.

As for the OP, I think just check out both and buy the one the make you happy.
