Agreed, and I got the F80 for those reasons, but on the other hand, for buyers who are just commuting and doing a few highway pulls, an F30 or E90 335 with turbo swap +supporting mods, full coilovers and sticky tires will be a pretty similar experience for a lot less money
All of the stuff we discussed matters if the car is tracked, and for a lot of people who don't track, you can get pretty close for way less money. I would totally get it if someone did a cheap lease on a 340 instead of getting F80 if the usage is 100% commuting
