But it is my standard, not Motorsports. I assume this makes sense.

I will not argue that the fit and finish of the M3 is probably better given the package deal you get, but I can have a faster car that handles better and has a better sound system, but may lack on interior design and front + back bumper style and exhaust note. Or I can have a superior interior and faster car that may not handle as well as an M3, etc.

See the point?
While there is a lot that mods can do... No amount of mods is going to put a V8, a DCT transmission, or a warranty on your car.

At the end of the day, the M3 contains things that you simply CANNOT bolt on to your car and should my engine blow, or transmission, or suspension or anything break for some reason I'm covered by a warranty for 4 years.

You can make a Honda Civic faster than a Lambo... but there's no question that I'd rather have the Lambo still.
