I agree, if someone doesn't appreciate the speed then they are better off not buying one but where do you draw this line? And even though the M3 is quite fast, I enjoy what it is at everyday, legal speeds. My Model 3 Performance was faster under 100...but I like the M3 a lot more.
OP posited M3 or M340 - and the question itself kind of tells me that OP should go for the M340 unless there is a desire to drive like a bat out of hell or get a manual. Although admittedly there are some other benefits like full merino leather and better brakes, etc.

Philosophically, I violently agree with you. And I’ve had all the cars you mentioned (model 3 p, M3 cx, M3). For me it’s M3 or bust. But not all people can or want to spend the extra $. Also admittedly I’ve always gone for the more powerful M3 of each generation since the e46.
