At the risk of repeating what's already been said perception can sometimes be misleading. In addition to my X3 I own and E46M3. That car also has a sport mode switch which only alters throttle response. The change is really dramatic, making it feel like the car has an extra 100hp, but the throttle becomes so twitchy most people don't use it. Surprisingly, it also makes the car feel significantly stiffer, and the M3 is very stiff to begin with. Obviously, since the suspension is not adjustable in any way this is just an illusion.
