Not everyone is wealthy enough to buy a M3.......
For some, especially if you live in the real world outside of the USA where cars are not a cheap commodity, ///M cars have become too far out of reach, and the problem is with this BMW focus on fwd for the smaller cars in their range, there will be no affordable, compact, rwd, 4 seat car for an 'enthusiast' driver to consider buying.
I and clearly others on here think this is why the AT (and other likely abominations from BMW in the future) are the start of a worrying trend.
It seems that as far as manufacturers are concerned, and BMW in particular, you can only be a car enthusiast if you are rich or live in the USA
