I think that this is going to be great, but FIY the E36 M3 puts 220hp to the wheels on a Mustang dyno, and the E46 puts 275 RWHP, and the E46 weighs 200 ish lbs more, I usually see both of them running pretty much neck and neck with similar drivers in each car, so your competition is 220RWHP and 3100 lbs, basically really similar to a base c5 vette, with 50/50 weight distribution, the LS engine will help you alot more than you think in the weight department, also remember that the M3 has aluminum control arms and a independant rear so you have your work cut out for you. But I think that you can do it.
