I hope my speculation is not right.

Very good point about BMW's potential knowledge that this M3 is no longer the king in performance and driving dynamics in this range...
It already loses out in the styling department, both inside and out, to the current RS4 and soon to be released C63. Now if it loses the "driving dynamic" battle, as well as the straight line speed battle, about the only reason to buy the thing is to say "I have an M car that has more "effecient dynamics" than the other guys..."
