I would love to own an R8 or a 458 or a McLaren F1, and would clearly take a variety of brands over an M3 at a given price point. It would be stupid not to. Free your mind, there are a lot of great cars out there that don't have an ///M attached to them.
I thought it was obvious that I am not promoting being a BMW guy. I am stating that it seems there are many people idolizing Porsche. My point is for people to be more brand neutral, as is your point.

Its very easy to think in the "grass is always greener" mindset, and I am seeing alot of that with the Porsche GT3 comments. If this thread is truly unbiased and brand neutral - why is there a cry out for BMW to have their own GT3 competitor - why not just buy the Porsche GT3?

I think the M3 GTS is a special car in its own way. Very BMW, Very M. If I could afford the GTS I probably wouldn't buy it either, but that's not the point.
