No M3 will come close. :salut:
Assuming you are talking in-gear then you are right, they are pretty epic
Never really had a problem shifting down myself though, and the weight of that engine is apparent when taking some tight b-roads. I loved mine but it was always a compromise. i actually preferred the 320d i had afterwards as it was noticably more nimble and not slow either.
I can only compare with the E46's though, but then if you are talking e9x then you're comparing to the v8 m3 which is a different ballgame again. Try one and come back telling me you'd actually still choose the derv if fuel wasn't an issue
