I had the silver e46 323ci pictured here.

The mod list was rather long. Suspension alone included UUC sways, H&R Cup Kit, Hamann front strut bar and 19's made for a much tighter car than the e92
Not one problem in 6 years of ownership.
I miss that car but the power delivery, stock handling and overall smoothness of my e92 is much improved
Now...Let the modding begin (unless i decide to trade in on a 135

)
