They might have the same badges, but they aren't the same cars. I didn't pay for a badge, I paid for how it drives. If someone can't tell the difference between a M340i and an M3, why would I care?
Pass this information on to anyone driving an exotic...
Exotics are a different ballgame and Ms aren't exotics.
Still not sure what means... we r talking about product differentiation here of a very expensive item...
Part of the appeal of exotics is exclusivity. Ms are mass produced and they are NOT very expensive relatively speaking.
Part of the appeal w an m car is the same... they r produced in much lower volume than the base cars... to most, $70k is a lot for a car.
