They are also nimble cars and with a short wheelbase it's a different drive than a Corvette.

My only complaint is towards the feel of the shifter-steering-clutch-brake pedal. It's a notch below the Boxster S.
I've driven a couple of M3s and a couple of other 3 series cars. BMW uses very light flywheels and the engines are fun to rev as a result. If you put a lighter flywheel on any other engine, you could get the same sensation of throttle response and rev-ability.
