Who knows, in 20 years the M2 may end up looking ridiculous depending on current trends.

The e46 M3 looks (and is) a form follows function design. This is pretty true of all cars BMW made from 70s to the bangle cars. From bangle on, they became much more stylized. Which is "better" comes down to preference.

It is lighter, but not as much as you might expect looking at them. Per BMW, a 6mt e46 M3 is 145 lbs heavier than a 6mt Z4MC.
