This post is full of stupid.
The M3 does come with an SMG transmission as well as a manual 6 speed. It has a high revving 4.0L V8 not the 5.0L V10 that is in the M5 and M6. The M "button" you were talking about doesn't exist. You have to go through the iDrive feature and press a few different options (M5 and M6 only) to get the full 500hp.
As far as your first post, the E92 M3 has a curb weight of around 3650lbs. Just a bit more than the E46's. The big thing with the M cars is the gearing. While not a torque monster, they roll the **** out on the highway.
OP, I would suggest getting a cam before you try any of the late model ///M cars.
