Faster car, factory warranty, no downtime, and no more idiotic forum posts.... sounds like a better deal.

If you're pushing your car hard enough that you're going to blow up a motor and not be able to afford a new motor out of pocket, then the answer is obvious - you would have been better of buying an M3.
Perhaps there are plenty of people who do significant powertrain modifications that don't truly push their cars for a sustained period of time to cause immediate and catastrophic problems.
But I can guarantee that if I took a tuned N55/B58 vehicle and drove it in back to back sessions HPDE sessions in the intermediate/advanced groups, your engine won't last nearly as long as the warranty period.
