BMW E30
Based on the 1986 E30 3-Series, the first M3 was introduced with a 2.3 L S14 engine, derived from the BMW M88 inline-6 block and the valve train and head architecture from BMWs M1 and later M6 inline-6 cylinder. One of the main reasons for production of the road car was to homologate the M3 for Group A Touring Car racing, as an answer to the “2.3-16V”-model of the Mercedes-Benz W201 which was introduced in 1983. A notable characteristic of the BMW E30 M3 is its racing pedigree, campaigned by BMW as well as other racing teams including Prodrive and Schnitzer Motorsport.
The first version produced 195 hp (143 kW) (catalyzed model). Having won more road races than any other model in history, the BMW E30 M3 is considered by many to be the world’s most successful road race car. Its wins include the Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft, European Touring Car Championship and even the one-off World Touring Car Championship title in 1987. The BMW E30 M3 is also a multiple winner of Guia Race, 24 Hours Nürburgring and Spa 24 Hours.
In 2004, Sports Car International named this car number six on the list of Top Sports Cars of the 1980s.

The BMW E46 3-Series was first introduced in Europe in 1998 and in the US in 1999 with the BMW E46 323i and E46 328i. The BMW E46 model range was expanded in 2000 with the E46 328Ci and E46 323Ci coupes and convertibles. The E46 continued to grow in 2001 in the US market with the E46 325i, E46 325Ci, E46 330i and BMW E46 330Ci. Despite the great engineering feats gone to produce a well performing BMW E46 3 Series from the factory, there are many BMW E46 Modifications available to improve acceleration, handling, aerodynamics and more.E46 Performance Modifications The BMW E46 3-Series has a well tuned inline 6 engine from the factory that can greatly benefit from improvements in the intake system, software tuning for BMW, exhaust system and even superchargers.
aFe Power produces high performance cold air intake systems for the BMW E46 including the E46 330i, E46 325i and BMW E46 M3. The aFe cold air intake system provides better flow and performance over the stock airbox which is designed to reduce noise and emissions. In addition, you can choose from the aFe Pro 5R or aFe Pro Dy S filter elements for better flow and performance over the factory BMW paper air filter.
The Active Autowerke ECU tuning upgrade will maximize power gains from other modifications by tweaking the air:fuel ratios and other parameters for a truly custom BMW ECU tune. These are geared towards stock vehicles as well as modified BMW E46 3 series to ensure that the software is custom produced for your specific application. In addition, you can do the Shark Software tune for the BMW E46 which is a simpler upgrade that does not yield as much power but still is a substantial improvement over stock.
The BMW E46 exhaust system is very good from the factory but also quiet and restrictive. Aftermarket exhausts for E46 3 series are available from the likes of Remus Exhausts for BMW, Active Autowerke E46 Exhausts, Eisenmann BMW exhausts and much more. These systems vary in sound and cost but will all improve flow and performance- a must for any BMW E46 3 series with a cold air intake.The BMW E46 Interior is one of ergonomic perfection but can be tailored to your needs with custom alcantara shift boots and carbon fiber shift knobs. You can also change the lighting to LED interior lights with the Bimmian Interior Xenon Kit for the BMW E46 .Many BMW E46 models do not come from the factory with xenon headlights so you can change those out with the Projector46 Headlights. These are full projector headlight replacements with LED angel eyes for a complete plug and play error free setup.If you wish to add angel eyes to your BMW E46, you can do the WeissLicht LED angel eyes which are a direct fit into the factory BMW E46 halogen or BMW E46 xenon headlights. Finally, you can do LED turn signals and LED license plate lights for E46 to change the exterior to a xenon white look.

BMW i8
We're about to have our first encounter with one of the most significant new cars of the new decade. Engulfed in blue smoke and accompanied by red laser effects, BMW's new hybrid supercar enters the pitch-black stage. Wearing blue swirl-pattern camouflage, the white coupe marks the high end of BMW's ambitious project i portfolio, and will likely be badged BMW i8 when it comes to market in 2013. Together with a megacity vehicle, the i8 will kick off carbon-fiber revolution at BMW. Rear engined and initially available only as a hybrid, the i8 is the most efficient BMW sports car ever conceived.Getting in to this futuristic BMW is not easy. At just a hair over four-feet high, it's limbo dancer low, and the door opening is shaped like a mail slot. The man at the wheel helps out by reciting the correct entry sequence.  BMW i8 Start with sliding the left leg in, then lift the bum over the sill, align and lower the torso, assume a ducked posture and then reel in the right foot. Once inside, we find legroom is as tight as in an olympic bobsled, the scalp duly leaves a grease mark on the tinted glass roof, and the right shoulder is wedged against the composite door, which has been pushed shut from the outside. The 2+2 configuration is largely fanciful. BMW i8 With the front seats in the rearmost position, the space for additional occupants shrinks to zero.

BMW X3
The BMW x3 is still on the first generation and it received a minor facelift in 2006. The BMW x3 is a well executed sibling to the more popular BMW X5, the older brother that takes the crown among the xDrive line up. Let’s face it though, the BMW x3 isn’t quite the most appealing BMW we have seen, but the facelift version seems to be more along the lines of what we expect from a smaller SAV. The front-end has suffered some minor changes, Angel Eyes headlights and a redesigned front-bumper, add a M Package to it and it becomes more bearable. Openings below the front bumper are now larger, and the fog lights have been moved up into the main bodywork.
The non-boxier, sportier look and with the design lines flowing easier, make the BMW x3 score a few points more than the GLK. The rear-end reflects the first generation X5, with its flat, squarish design.  In the facelifted version, the rear bumper received a very subtle restyle, and the taillight clusters now house LEDs instead of traditional bulbs.Even though the BMW x3 looks a bit outdated when compared to the other BMWs (the next generation will change this feeling), I still prefer the more agile, sportier look on the BMWx3.
Without being biased here and by adding up the scores in all the categories, the BMW x3 wins by just .5 points. Of course, this score can go either way, depends on who reviews the car and what their main criteria is. Some people enjoy luxury and gadgets, while others enjoy the car’s handling.
Bottom line is that both cars are a good buy, but with the next improved generation BMW x3 just around the corner, BMW x3 might take over the entire segment.
