I wouldn't say that at all - the M3 is about the complete experience - it will always feel and drive more special than a non-M.

However - I would say that the E9XM isn't for everyone and it's certainly not suited to certain environments. So it depends on A) your own preferences and B) how you will use the car most often.

I can tell you that if you mostly use the car in the city/urban areas it's probably not the best choice. Yes, it's very cool and very visceral but it is very hard to really experience what it has to offer in that environment because to truly enjoy an E9XM you have to be more or less driving it flat out - when driven flat out it's unequaled by any other M car to date. If you are either not interested in driving it near the limit regularly OR are simply unable to then it *may* be unsatisfying.
