Facts are facts. The M cars are enhanced in ways that you cannot mod. The engine is different and superior. The drive train is carbon fiber. Etc. etc.
The truth is, the premium to go from the 440 to a decently equipped M is the best value in cars. Almost everything is changed, enhanced, better.
I did not make that mistake this time around. I will never make that mistake again.

There is is a lot of chest-beating on this thread. I have a tracked a tuned 340i with good tires and a stock M3 and though they are not the same car, they are not worlds apart in my experience. Sure the 340i has a little more shake-n-bake but on the track, it is still the driver less the car. As far as value, we will see when you are out of warranty and into repairs.
