yes that is true though i'm asking about the latter without so many words. The 3 is lower than a 5 but does the M make it equal in stature/prestige/quality/craftsmanship in people's eyes to an X5? Or do people see an M3 as just a really fast and capable 3-series? There, more words. Probably should not have thrown that out there in this thread, but someone mentioned it.
