If I were buying a race car, point 2 would apply. The M3 isn't a race car, not even close. You know race cars have stripped interriors, cages, fire supression, ... BMW might make a race car version of the street car and then that would have its own seperate issues.
It it a good engine, yes. Is it the best, nope. Just because BMW builds something doesn't make it without fault.

I forgot what the displacement limit is now since class structure changed a bit, but in order to race I think BMW has to keep the V8 at 4.0 liters along with using restrictors. This is because of Porsche's whining about getting beat.
