Don't you have better things to talk about?
Gossip is the lowest form of discourse.

You don't get it? Because in general German cars are simply better than other cars. But this overconfidence in German cars often makes us miss some other just as good if not better alternatives. And as some can't understand that, that is it also possible that non-German cars are good, this happens.

Don't get me wrong, I love the new GT350 and Z06, these cars are some of the best performance bargains you can buy right now. But if you want a LUXURY sport sedan, the M still offers some of the best cars in the business. So seriously, quite the bashings and start to appreciate the fact that different cars are built with different purposes.

So all of a sudden the M3 is not hard-core? Read the comparisons M4 vs. RC F, and the M4 is the track car or hard-core one, and the RC F is the better balanced luxury comfort performance car.
See it this way,
Track: RC F < M4 < GT350
DD: GT350 < M4 < RC F.
Then again some don't have an issue with hard-core DD car. And very few M and F go on track.
