I recently bought a RS 275R and it's not so much of a sleeper when it's covered in decals haha.
It's much slower (on road and track) than my old modified 135i but gets a lot more attention.

Deep down inside everyone would prefer a lower ring time all else equal. Stressing all else equal. Let's agree to disagree.

I know it's kind of pointless but I still fell for the Nurburgring marketing.
