Why does the BMW M3 have a smaller engine compared to other performance cars?

I've noticed that the BMW M3 has a smaller engine (e.g. 3.0L) compared to other high-performance cars (e.g. 5.0L). Is there a specific reason for this difference? Should I be concerned about the M3's power and performance?

The reason for the BMW M3's smaller engine is due to their focus on lightweight design and balanced performance. A smaller engine means less weight and better weight distribution, resulting in improved handling and acceleration.

Don't let the size of the engine fool you, the BMW M3 is still a force to be reckoned with. The smaller engine allows for better fuel efficiency and overall cost savings. Plus, with modern technology, the M3 is able to produce just as much power as larger engines.
