Instead of having an "M Performance" category that takes away from the "M" meaning, it would have been nice if BMW called that in-between category the "S" line. So something like:

335i - baseline
335is - probably not necessary
S3 - Sport performance
M3 - Motorsport (highest) performance

This would cater to those who never wish to ever track their car but want some of the M performance parts and the aero package without the complete M car/engine. Would cost less and meet a new price point...

Kind of along the same lines of how the new M5 has the separate categories for some of the different driving modes:
- Sport (think of this as the "S")
- Sport Plus (consider this the "M")

This is just IMHO how I would have done it if I were BMW President & CEO for a day....
