THAT IS NOT TO SAY that you can't still have fun with a substantial amount of mods to hit the track in F30. It all depend on how much you want to spend.

So no, this wasn't an attack on people who can't afford an M. This was some advice for people who can afford a $62k F30 (the price of my aforementioned 340i) and dump about $12k+ in mods into it. They would probably be in a better place with a stock F80.

Maybe I should have made more of an emphasis on the last sentence where I said you can still have fun with it. I've been a defender of the 3 series as a fun car for over 20 years. My first car was a 1979 320i so please don't misunderstand me.
I was not trying to be defensive, but these comparisons between inferior/superior models gets old.
For how long you have your M3? I'll be here watching for when you start modding it and getting that MSRP up, as M parts are more expensive.
