Well, I priced out a loaded (to me) M3 sedan at $62K. What makes it worse is that a loaded (to me) 335i sedan with reasonable ED and other discounts cames out to $42K. That's a lot of dough separating both cars. Throw in the super duper LSD and Dinan remap (say $10K installed) and you are still $10K a head without losing much performance.
The CTS-V adds a whole other dimension. If you crave lightness, the additional 400lbs then you don't get a CTS-V. At the same time, if you really care about lightness, you don't get a 3800lb pig. If you consider them both to be fat-asses, then why not keep some change and take the bigger and likely much faster beast (with real brakes) home?
