I think if we had a cut and dry distinction people these two groups of people, you'd see a major shift in perspective and opinion on the new car which could raise some eyebrows in BMW.
There is one major flaw in your reasoning:
You assume that all M3 buyers are on the internet discussing/venting their ideas/opinions about the car. Actually, only a small percentage of M3 owners/buyers are one forums, so their voice is not representative for the way BMW should design future M3s if BMW wants to satisfy their existing customer base. That being said, it doesn't mean they can't make good points.
