Here are the numbers from the article: http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...son/specs.html
If you're just going strictly by numbers alone. There is no way you would ever choose the M3. Mustang has slightly better performance numbers throughout. Way better gas mileage. Warranties are similar. But the 302 would be way less to work on. The as tested price the M3 was $27k more!
But, the average consumer who wants more of a status car would chose the M3 any day.
I was thinking that the M3 might be a better car around town, but with the mustangs torque numbers it would probably be more fun and lively.
Mustang is going to be cheaper to mod, but I'm not sure how many more bolt-ons the 302 could take before it reaches its limits.
