I think its crappy because the E9x generation was the first time in BMW's history where a consumer actually debated and compared the performance merits of the standard car (335i) and the sports model (M3). BMW really f***ed up by offering a 'performance' model that wasn't ages better than the model below it, just slightly better (and at a very noticeable price premium). I mean for the E46, who cross shopped a 330i and an M3? If you had the money you'd go for the M3 every day of the week if performance was the first focus. That's all I meant. When I was still a kid and the e92 M3 came out, I really wanted one and thought they were the coolest thing. I finally drove one and my first reaction was "Man... what a let down."
