People claimed that the M3 lost it's roots once it ditched the 4 cylinder of the original just to give you guys perspective.
Not taking away from the GT3, they're great cars, just always think it's funny how people take progress and changes in technology over time as "losing it's roots".

The issues with the M3 are very different from the issues with the 911. Only the 911 purists have a problem with new 911s because they want things like air cooled engines, but for 99% of people, they are almost always rated as the best drivers cars. Despite the complaints about technology, Porsche has never turned the 911 into anything other than a sports car.
The BMW has the same issue with purists, they hate the twin turbo and the fact that the 4 should be a 3 coupe. But, where the issue with the Porsches were limited to the purists whining over new technology, the BMWs aren't really winning over anyone looking for a drivers car. They've come too far away from being nimble, punchy sports coupes and become entry level grand tourers.
