I know exactly what you mean, there was a German magazine that pictured an M2C and E46 CSL together and they share a lot more in design than what I thought, not to mention size wise they're so close |
M2C/M2 CS versus E46 M3: - difference in length: 31mm or 0.2in
- difference in wheelbase: 38mm or 1.5in

A matter of personal taste. I still got high esteem for the E46 M3 (I used to have an E46 M3 6MT and an E46 M3 SMGII). The E90/E92 M3 coupé, F80 M3 sedan and F82 M4 coupé ventured beyond the 4.5m limit (>177.17in), equally extending the wheel base, which is just a tad too tall for my liking. G80 M3 will be even taller. The F87 raises an 'E46 M3 reimagined and spiced up in the turbo era' impression.

Length and wheelbase: - 981 GT4 = 4438mm (174.72in) | wheelbase: 2474mm (97.40in)
- 718 GT4 = 4456mm (175.43in) | wheelbase: 2484mm (97.80in)
- M2 Competition = 4461mm (175.63in) | wheelbase: 2693mm (106.02in)
- M2 CS = 4461mm (175.63in) | wheelbase: 2693mm (106.02in)
- original M2 = 4468mm (175.91in) | wheelbase: 2693mm (106.02in)
- E46 M3 = 4492mm (176.85in) | wheelbase: 2731mm (107.52in)
