Hate to tell you going from a 3 to a 4 is not moving up a class, unless you're drinking the BMW Kool-Aid. I've sold BMWs for nearly 45-years and a 3 and a 4 use the same level of materials and are (if you disregard the 4-series GC) made in the same plant. And it makes no difference in materials if you buy normal or M. If you want to see better quality, you have to go up to a 5er.
As it turns out, I think the 1-series E82 was built better than its contemporary 3-series.
