I know M3 is closing that gap, but how much is the question.

It closes the gap a LOT. An F80 M3 is nicer than even a base F10. I owned an F10 with Nappa, and I loved it. The F10 M5 with Merino is even nicer, as the seats are much better. And of course, the full Merino with the leather dash is just OTT.
If you get an F80 M3 with the (likely relatively cheap according to the Canadian price guide) full leather, it will be a very nice place to be. Not M5, and I won't say "not far off", but it's a far cry from the base F30 3 series. The seats alone are a huge upgrade. The Merino blows away the Dakota. The gauges are much, much nicer. The DCT shifter elevates the center console. The CF trim is really sharp. Etc.
