If they wanted to make it special, the new M3 would have the V8 turbo, but then it couldn't have same engine as new M5. "It's all politics, man..."
Sounds like most of your driving occurred in the sub-4000 range. Next time take a proper test drive along appropriate roads where you never dip BELOW 4000 and I guarantee that you won't be lacking in a feel of "rapidity".
