I miss Jeremy Clarkson. In regard to your assertion though, one argument that comes up a lot is that a well optioned G20 M340i costs too close to a base F80/82. That challenges the point you're trying to make.

If we decide to ignore that inconvenient counter point though, and further apply your logic, we can also conclude that a BMW M* driver simply can't afford a real luxury sports car like a Porsche.
A fully loaded m340i can cost $5k more than a base f80/c63. For those m340i customers, it's not that they cannot afford a m3, it's just they know exactly what they want, and they just don't want a m3
