That's exactly my point. No one puts high mileage on those exotic cars. But plenty of people do that on an M3. No one buys an M3 just to drive it 2 or 3 days a year like those exotics. Yes BMW might have been able to tweak the S65 to squeeze more power out of its 4 L displacement, and match the specific output of that GT3 or 458 or whatever, but making an already high strung engine even more so might have affected long term reliability and durability.
