Now they are using turbos to add power and efficiency, but still stick to the ideals of what defines a 3 series, an I-6

My point exactly. The E30 homologation special was race bred first, sales and ///Marketing second. Form follows function.
All the ///M3's since have been a ///Marketing focused endeavor. As will the next one be.
Until they need to build another version to homologate, the true ///M3 heritage is dead.
