I define an enthusiast as someone who places higher value on their car/driving experience than the average consumer, for any given class of car. So in the midsize luxury sedan segment, if you don't place higher value on the car/driving experience, you have absolutely no reason to purchase an M340, C43 or S4 over a 330i, C300, or A4 respectively. It just wouldn't make any sense.
I guess we define the term enthusiast differently.
But I don't agree with your notion that there's absolutely no reason to by 340i and the others you'd mentioned.
Just for the sake of getting a 6 cylinder engine vs sewing machine ticking clacking sounding 4 banger is enough of a reason to go after 340/c43/s4 etc.
