BMW made the M3 intentionally "bulky" to set it apart from the other 3 series so that people can't just add M mirrors and such to make it look like an E46 M3. Its the flared fenders that make it look bubbly.
I only drove it for a quick second since it only had 75 miles on it. So obviously I didn't push it. I couldn't tell about the power, but it was a much harder and louder ride. But it is convertible so you can't expect the quietness of a hardtop. The quad exhaust tip in the back look nice, but the M5 has a more pronounced rear skirt, whereas the M3s looks pretty plain. One thing interesting is that the M3 has holes for the air intakes right next to the front fog lights. I believe this is the same thing that others on this board have done themselves. I wonder why they did that with the M3 and not the M5. The fun factor on that thing is definitely high!
