As far as performance, the true hierarchy settles itself on the road course. The frame is stiffer, body is wider, manufacturing tolerances are lower, and most components can withstand higher hp, torque, and g force. Everyone starts doing Fast & Furious comparisons and lose sight of why the M brand was created, even BMW itself.
