You get the LSD which is the real performance upgrade the 3 series needs. I guess it comes down to pricing, hopefully the M4 isn't ridiculous, gonna be a tough race between the rumored RS5 with TTV6 and the M4 for my next ride.

My guess is that the M Performance models, the M235i, possible M335i/M435i are BMW's answer to Audi's S products. Increased performance, better appearance & higher price compared to the base model but not quite as hard core and expensive as the M (RS) models. With the 2 series, the rumor is there will be no base 235i, only the M235i, so I wonder if this will eventually happen with the 3 and 4 series.
