ok....
I have both and am in the exact quandary you are entering. This my current e46 (for sale)

pros e46 - rwd, great handling, parts are plentiful, killer chassis, lighter weight
cons e46 - no longer relevant motor, maintenance, addicting
pro mk6 gti - fun, parts availability, can keep dd status
cons mk6 gti - FWD, non-traditional track handling
I have been thinking of getting rid of my mutt e46 because I know that with a couple more grand it can be a track beast. The downside is the money and the money pit that it will be. I have a Mk6 gti but the the FWD idea doesn't match the ideas as a track car. Skillset set aside I have been leet down by the GTI for a track day tool. my E46 shines but still has a ton more to go with setup and parts to make it shine.
I aready have a jeep for the winter, but want a DD for spring summer fall. the E46 is too much for that and the GTI is great but I do not have the $ for all three and need to cut back from 3 to 2 vehicles. I know the limits of the GTI and don't know if I can stomach the FWD :23:
It doesn't help that that VW cars as a whole have dropped big in resale the last 3 months.
