I hardly think the luxo-cruiser DB9 or traction-focused 997.1 911 turbo can provide the same type of driving experience as a Ferrari.
When I drove the 911 I was very impressed with the mechanical nature of the car, the steering feel&feedback and concluded that if price was no object, I would happily drive one any day of the week. I liked it, but it wasn't necessarily love at first sight. But when I rode in a Ferrari on track, I was instantly smitten. If you understand the difference, then you know why a DB9 or even 911 Turbo are not contenders...
The way I think about it, basically the M3 is the Ferrari of sports sedans - high revving NA engine, noise, superlative throttle response, excellent handling and agility and good looks (for the category). So it's natural for many M3 owners to be attracted to the prancing horse...
