Better is subjective so I'll post stats.

E46 M3 2001-2006

3246cc Straight Six Engine

343 BHP 269 LB-FT

0-62 ~4.6 Secs

Delimited Topspeed ~182 MPH

1570 kg

Nurburgring Laptime 8:22

E92 M3 2006-

3999cc V8 Engine

420 BHP 295 LB-FT

0-62 ~4.1 Secs

Delimited Topspeed ~190 MPH

1655kg

Nurburgring Laptime 8:05

Interestingly the E92 has significantly less specific torque (torque per litre engine displacement) dispite being a lighter engine with a higher compression ratio. It would seem to me that the E92 M3 was held back slightly in terms of power due to the expected release of the E92 M3 CSL. A theory which is strenghened by claims of 476 BHP from a simple remap and Catalytic Convertor change.
