the engine in the 330 is basically the same thing as the E36 m3 without the cam and the .2 liters of displacement...it is just detuned for better milage and all around performance. as for the chassis, it is different than the E46 M3 in many ways, however, if you were to compare chassis dynamics of a 330i vs. E36 M3, the 330 would trump the older car by a long shot....soooo if you are looking for an older E36 M3, you might as well blow for the 330i witht the sports pack (they even have a new performance package that boosts hp to 235, new exhaust, cam, etc.) and a warranty....
