The M3 has to overcome limited front camber and a lot of weight. It has no chance to be nationally competitive with the current SS crop. Would love to see it in AS. However, with AS being as well subscribed as it is, the SEB is probably more concerned about upsetting the apple cart. I think it would have helped to have had e46 M3s being campaigned nationally in AS. They face similar challenges as the e92 and it would help the case for the new M3 if there were numbers showing the e46 way off the AS pace.
Posted some same driver/day numbers below from Thomason's R&T autocross test. The C6 isn't the fastest SS and the EVO isn't a fast AS car. These are stock vehicles, but I don't know if the stock class modifications would change the delta much.
C6 Z06 41.82
E92 M3 42.74
EVO X MR 43.07
