Plenty of cheaper, smaller cars quicker than the E9x M3's. But the E9x M3's aren't built for brute straightline speed. They're well balanced at the track and excel in the twisties. The S65 has linear power delivery and make peak power up high, like actual race cars. All the while it is very streetable and tame when needed.
I wouldn't trade an E9x M3 for a Focus RS, Golf R, or Civic Type R, although these are some hot hatches, which I have a great affinity for.
