Whereas the 911 gets non car people all excited because it is clearly a Porsche. I'm fine with fellow enthusiasts recognizing an M3 for what it is, I only want to fool the busybody, chatty corolla drivers who think any sports car is meant to be a show-offy status symbol.
Note this all differs by region and work environment. If I lived in LA where p-cars are a dime a dozen, I wouldn't worry about it. But here in Columbus OH at a very conservative company, a 911 would get noticed. Our CEO drives a 535i and I don't need to be flashier than that - but I still can't bring myself to drive something truly boring. I think an M3 strikes a very nice balance.
