I have seen the M3 loose a comparison: to a 2011 Mustang GT 5.0. The Mustang tied it on the 1/4 mile strip 9 times out of 10 and beat it the 10th time. And around the track (Willow Springs I think) it only lost by 1/10th of a second. The $25,000 price difference pushed the comparison into the Mustang's favour. 9/10ths of the M3 for 25k less (this is in terms of on-track, not luxury or ride quality or any other metric). The Mustang also gets better fuel economy.
