No.
This was a car built 15+ years ago, using 20+ year old technology. At the time it was hot shit, but things have come a very long way since then - but as a long-term proposition they are expensive to own... a motor tear down is $2500 in parts alone.
Their strong point is handling, which they do very well - I've had the opportunity to ride in a few on track, i'm pretty impressed with them in that regard.
With a bit of work you can go faster in a E30 325is, but I think the M has a certain feel that cant be replaced by faster lap times. But I like E30's. And E34's
