The BMW M3 is designed for performance on the track rather than top speed. It has a lower center of gravity and better handling compared to its competitors.

The BMW M3 prioritizes balance and agility over top speed, making it more suitable for twisty roads and corners. Its lightweight construction also contributes to its lower top speed.

If straight line speed is your main priority, you may want to consider other sports cars in the same price range. However, the BMW M3's superior handling and precision make it a top choice for enthusiasts.
