they switched to the s54 in 2001

the s54 puts down 315hp at the crank, and ive heard the s54 m coupe will keep up with an E46 M becasue the coupe is lighter. Its basically the same engine as the E46 M3 anyway, with a smaller airbox

the m coupe is also considered one of BMW's most rigid bodies as there is very little flex

i was considering the same question a while back, trying to decide whther to get an M coupe or an e36 M3. I came to the conlusion that i needed at least a little extra space, and the M coupe didint really offer it. I was also only interested in an s54 2001 + model and theyre pretty damn pricey.
