that was kind of a useless response, and i beg to differ. if someone was crazy enough to buy a wrx and modify almost everything, spend 80,000$, suppose it was safe and reliable with a rebuild and a leather interior and things like that, are you still going to pick the m3?

It all depends on what you want. If you don't want a hopped up WRX - it won't matter how much money the person spent on it you still wouldn't want it.
Just like I wouldn't care how much somebody dropped on a *****in' 6-figure Yugo - I still would take my WRX over it no matter how well the little econobox performed.

ok.. this topic was about m3 vs WRX
When I said flagship, this is where I was going with it...
The majority of the ppl who talk about BMW's performance M series, it would be the m3, the m5 is more of a performance luxury sedan imo which is why I said its behind the m3...
but this topic was about the e46 m3 vs WRX, so i'll take back my statement about the m3 being its flagship.. but I'd say the m3 sells better than the 7 series.. but maybe im wrong

Having driven my dad's M3 with the sequential shift, you could beat him on launch alone. The M3 driver does not have much control over the the launch(no clutch pedal), all he can really do is floor it. However, once he gets going it is fast as s**t, and shifts rediculously fast. Don't even think about a top end run, the M3 gets to 150 pretty quick and the WRX can't get close to that.
