That's where the problem starts and ends. BMW does not have a single car in the line up now that has an actual proper sport Chassis. I say this and I am one of the biggest BMW fans. Unfortunately, you will only understand what I mean if and when you drive a Porsche. I have driven a 997 S, 991.2 GTS and a 991.2 GT3 and I can tell you these cars are from a totally different planet, let alone they are more expensive. But you can get a proper 997.1 turbo which is crazy fast for cheaper than a new M3.

I see this posted all the time and while true....
It is also the reason the M-cars have the practicality of a 3-series.
Large trunk, large full-size backseat, etc...
That has always been a draw to the Mcars, they can be a very practical DD.
I agree that the Porsche is the better sports car, but the practicality/sportiness combo of an M is what makes it a compelling package.
Just my $.02
