The factory used larger and stronger parts on the M3 than they did on the regular 3-series. That said, you're right - the harder you drive and the more grip you get (bigger tires or stickier tires) the more stress and the shorter the life of the components. Unless you run the stock tires and drive moderately you'll get less life than the factory norm. I think we all get that.
