BMW M current heritage gives total E46 M3 production of 85 139 units.

Standard M3 Coupé

BMW Group Classic:

production card: 07/2000–03/2006;
S54B32;
3246 см³;

torque: 365 Nm on BMW M engine documentation;
6MT or SMG II;
250 km/h electronically limited;

BMW M describes the high-revving S54 as the defining technical feature of the generation.

North America

BMW North America official material:

333 hp;
262 lb-ft;
S54-related US-market configuration;
emissions/market calibration differs from European PS presentation.

Create a separate regional power row instead of relabelling 343 PS as 333 hp.

M3 Cabriolet

BMW Archive:

S54B32;
3246 см³;
343 PS / 252 kW;
250 km/h;
29 633 units.

BMW M historical overview rounds this as “more than 30,000”; the Archive production card is retained as the more specific count.

SMG II

SMG II:

factory automated manual option;
6 forward gears;
not a torque-converter automatic;
separate transmission row in MASTER MODEL DATABASE.

Manual and SMG must have separate performance/test fields where BMW publishes them.

Competition Package

Official current BMW M model name: BMW M3 E46 with Competition package

Key BMW M facts:

252 kW / 343 hp;
fewer than 400 built according to current BMW M article;

Anti-duplication rule

Do not automatically create a global standalone model named M3 CS.

M3 CS terminology may have existed in specific markets, but a market-specific primary BMW source must be attached before such a row is considered canonical.
