Everyone seems so smug, but there is absolutely no progress compared to an M3 or M4. Not faster, not lighter. If so then what’s the point?

The point is that for $15K less you can have basically the same performance as an M4 (non comp).
The point is that for $15K less you can have a car that looks much more unique with it's long hood/short deck than the M4.
The point is that for $15K less, you can have a car that is more dynamic in tight corners.
And if you choose to you can buy take off M3/M4 wheels to save ~20lbs rotating/unsprung weight for less than $1,000. You can replace the lead battery for a LiION one like in the M2 for ~$1,000 and save 40 lbs.
But guess what?
Choice is great. We can get a G87, G82, G80, G81, G83, they are all great cars, each slightly more suitable to one thing or the other.
But out of all of them, only one is much less expensive than the others.
And that is a great point.
