It is about which car can deliver the overall most enjoyable driving experience, all factors considered. And this is why the M3 is legendary.
Excellently stated

OP - it appears you own an M3 so please answer your own question...why did you buy a M3 if there are faster cars that cost less than the M3? In your case it sounds like you are more interested in going fast in a straight line.
