You should see one part of Toronto where an M3 "look alike" is at every 
corner.  18" wheels, dual tip DTM style exhaust, cross drilled 
rotors, "it will get stuck on a speed bump" lowered look.
Take a look inside and AUTOMATIC tranny.  
Most of those guys have never had their car over 75mph.
Makes you sick to your stomach.  All of this just for style.
For most of them it has to do with the way a car looks and not how it 
performs.  They do have thick wallets though.
Wishin it was me.
