- regular 3 series with proper coil over suspension is going to out-handle stock m3 at the track

Model separation is for marketing - CSL customers are looking down at CS who is smirking at M Comp who in turn feel superior to M peeps.
Civic M cars stand no chance and M performance is the lowest on the M totem pole. BMW has created the wealth-marketing pyramid and is milking it to its fullest.
In fairness, it's also pure marketing that tries to convince people that their M340 is somehow part of the M family. They got you hook line and sinker on that one

That said, I like that chart. First time I've seen that breakdown.
