The keyword here is "exclusive". The higher the MSRP is for the M3 and the more 335s they sell, the more exclusive the M3 becomes.
BMW always pushes the next level up....

Remember when the E46 330i came out? The performance was right around the E36 M3's. Now the 335i is right on top of the E46 M3.

M3 owners are the pawns of BMW.....sometimes, they are willing pawns.
