Well, the general public doesn't really get into the sort of 'M' hairsplitting that we do here. It's easy to forget that a stock M235i outperforms the Ferraris of 25-30 years ago. I think that the point is that it wasn't the right car for 20-year-old with a bad driving record. And it wasn't. Tragic story.
Not even 20 years ago, much more recent than that in fact. Driving dynamics aside just pure speed 0-60 the M235, M2, upcoming RS3 etc are all right there with even some more recent super cars.
