As for the performance and comfort of an M3 vs a Mustang. I agree performance is on par. But you are not seriously going to sit here and tell me that the Mustang is on par with the upper scale M3 on the comfort level.
Maybe it's subjective, but BMW has always been top notch in comfort.

Well, some might buy their cars to impress others, but that has never been a reason for me. I buy the cars that I enjoy driving, and for me, that can be a 40-year old classic to a modern ponycar.
While I like some of the modern amenities, I could care less about half of the electronic crap that comes with the modern luxury cars. I mean, Lexus touts its self-parking/parking assist stuff as a reason to buy their car. To me, if you can't properly park a car, you don't need to be driving!
I'll concede the BMW uses nicer materials and has more bells and whistles than the average car (i.e. Mustang, Camaro, Malibu, Taurus, etc.), and if that floats your boat, I'm not going to suggest you shouldn't buy it. I'm not sure why you keep trying to suggest that I consider a Mustang, or a Camaro, on the same level as a BMW; I don't.
If the things the BMW offers appeals to someone, great, let them buy the car. That does not mean
I will ever get why
they feel that way about the car anymore than
I will ever
understand how one man can feel sexually attracted to another man.
