Yes.
Not sure the 3 series should actually qualify as 'luxury' but that's neither here nor there. But given the amount of N54s out there that are highly modified, this platform has quite the following (yes this is N55 but same idea) of people who increase the power and take it to the drag strip amazingly enough.
It is considered a 'sport sedan' so probably a given. Crazy to see 335's and 135s with the N54 engine running roll races against Lambo's, Ferraris, GTRs, etc, and doing quite well. I think the BMS folks have 135 and 335s that are pushing north of 500whp. Considering you could toss in <$1500 and run in the 11s in the 1/4, that's pretty impressive to me. For a luxury sport sedan...
