The use case M was designed for is perfect for what it is. This paper performance measuring contest is silly. I recall a conversation I had with someone and he wanted to buy the comp solely for its higher HP. Ok fair for bragging rights. But I rather have more options in my base than that extra 30 HP

It’s more than just get a taste. A fair amount of M3 owners track their cars frequently and beat on them for hours each time. These cars are built and tested to a different standard than a regular street car. Does extra hp matter, absolutely! The track is a place we’re you want to go fast, it’s the whole idea with being there whether you participate in a race or just a regular track day. Are they racing series ready cars? Absolutely not but that doesn’t mean speed isn’t important.
