This is pretty much the standard for the industry.
I have a friend who owns an e92 M3. And to be honest, I see why he would present his feelings to me about this. I have asked his opinion over the course of choosing the car.

I think its more of my own problem about image and what my friends think about the car as opposed to what reality is. I am glad you brought this up because maybe BMW needs to be cut some slack since MB, Audi and Lexus all have a sportline similar to their performance brand.
