I'm sure BMW would build a very raw car and save the r&d for all the tech bits and so on, if thats what they could sell at a profit and high numbers.
They are a big car manufacturer and have to follow the demand and as you said, people often think what they demand is the majority, in reality it's often not. |
And M3s has never been raw except to some extent the GTS, CRT track type of models. M3s are in my experience 3 series cars with a track ready engine and chassis. As the 3 series they are luxury cars but even more so, the interior is the most premium in high end materials, seats, instruments look and feel of all 3 series models. The M3s retain the smooth, well oiled but athletic BMW characteristics. Communicative they usually are (the F80’s steering is the exception) but not raw.
