In my opinion it depends on the direction. I don't really see the need to take this car in a stripped down, track focused direction, but if they kept the luxury/comfort level the same while adding the better aero bits, and increasing power then I would be all in. I would say focus it more for the guy who wants the luxury rocket during the week but is going to make "canyon runs" on the weekend vs. go to the track.
The M3/M4 CS getting more stripped down and track focused definitely makes sense.
I'd be interested in the market research on this, but I would have to think that the M3/M4 buyer is buying that car specifically because they want the dual purpose car to take to the track. The M5 buyer likely has something else they prefer as their track car, but wants the luxury/supercar experience in something more practical for a daily.
