I don't know. I have a fairly decently modded 1 (power-wise) and I test drove the E92 M3. The engine feels worlds better as a performance oriented car. The twin turbo N54 is boring to drive hard (in comparison) while the high-revving V8 in the M3 begs you to drive harder and nothing is more satisfying than being able to rev to +8000 rpms and the car feel like it's doing more work. With the N54's powerband, it feels like the engine just prematurely ejaculated (sorry for the graphic image, but it's the best way I can describe it).

I'm new to BMW and have yet to own an M car so I'm not biased, but there's something very special about a high-revving N/A V8.
