This is a perfect example of why someone would buy an M car over any of these? The M no longer offers anything unique or special. They all have big FI engines, deliver big horsepower and are big cars. The old M's atleast were usually lighter than competition, had a high revving NA motor and was fastest around a track. Now that these features are gone-why would you buy a bmw unless it is just brand loyalty or you can't afford an SL
I agree. It's kinda sad really.
