I mean, how stupid does it sound nowadays when we defend BMWs (especially against american competition) by saying that it has a nicer interior or more luxury. Remember the days when we said it was the better driver's car? :/

Of course your money will buy you less and less--that's inflation for you. When inflation is factored in, the price of the M3 hasn't changed all that much. With regards to your second point, I don't think it's an issue of BMW not meeting expectations as much as it is GM really stepping their game up and producing a fantastic chassis with the Alpha platform.
