This is by design from BMW and they're own thinking behind the M nomenclature.

IS500 is not competing with an M3 competition, a CS or CSL variant of an M car.

Sure there's some overlap with an M3 and M3 comp, but the IS is designed for spirited street use. That's one of the reasons this is not branded as an ISF.

Come through, I'll share some of my good shit.
You just said M cars "aren't built for the track." What are they built for then?

No CS or CSL variants. How about the M4 GTS? Which is significantly faster around the Ring than the M3 CS.

F90 competition ran a 7:35 around the ring. Which is even faster than a F80 CS or a 400k Lexus LFA.
