The M2 blows the E46 M3 away on torque, and especially low end. The E36 M3 was my previous Bimmer, and even with a Dinan kit on it the low end torque on the M2 is distinctly better than that was...

Now, the steering I get. I think the M2's steering is precise, but somewhat numb compared to those early M cars.
Ha, there is no 'low end torque' in an E46 M3 6MT neither in an E9x M3 6MT.....they don't feel 'fast' in low and medium revs. They have to be revved rather highly to get speed out of it.

So I 'm not getting this either, though having owned both E46 and E90 M3.....
