i completely disagree with everything TheJuggernaut said.....j/k...it was great post.
The same ideas can be applied to a variety of cars and not just those BMWs, and still be true. Enthusiasts, admirer, tuner, can all mean the same thing..and at the same time mean completely different things.

I always go with the newer technology when in doubt.
Therefore, FRS> e46 M3. To me, e46 M3 > e36 M3.

E46 front seats weigh 62lbs each. E30 front seats weigh 43. And this trend continues E46s have more sound deadening. E46s have front impact, door, and curtain airbags. E30s have front impact. How many speakers does an E30 have? I'm sure there are fewer speakers and that they weigh less.

so by the time you get a stock E46 down into E30 land, you're pretty much driving a metal bucket
this is where the apeal in the FRS comes from, you get a light car AND creature comforts, most importantly...... rear seats! ta da

I honestly think some of these threads was made up for no reason other than price. Next it will be FR-S vs C5 Z06 or some other off the wall comparisons involving apples and broccoli.

So yeah essentially you would be riding around in a metal bucket with one seat, a roll cage, and a powertrain BUUUUUT it's a track car it's not supposed to be comfortable. The real question is, WOULD you? Does it make sense? Not really when you can do it for cheaper with an E30 or E36 but there are crazy people with too much currency on hand that like to do unique things to cars for the sake of doing it. Had a dude at my college drop an RB26DETT in his Chevy S10. Why? Because there are only 2 other's like it in the country and he wanted to be the third. So yeah this hippo could weigh as much as a dog... it's just a LOT of work.

If you wanted to get an E46 under 2400lbs, you'd be better off building a tube chassis and draping E46 looking fiberglass over it.
