Agree with the TT guised up to... idea, if you're going to run that line with the m3 being "just a 3 series or still a 3 series."

My goodness guys, we might as well rehearse the Porsche is just a suped-up Volkswagon series of attacks as well.

Even if the M3 is "just" a sporty version of a sedan, isn't it a bad thing that a pure sports car is on a par or behind in performance to a sporty sedan? Or should we run it the other way, and pile on the praise to BMW for making such an amazing sedan?
