Different perspectives I suppose..
You're worried about prestige and what others think, which means you're not a car enthusiast. This video is about performance. The M3 is BMW's flagship performance car, they always have been about exceptional braking, handling and acceleration. Mustangs are cheap pony cars, except Ford realizing the economy is in the gutter opted to build better quality cars and this is the result.
You might be better suited in an automatic 525i with 20inch chrome rims.

From a tuner standpoint, and a factory standpoint.
$30,000 less
Gets WAY better gas mileage, 26mph on the hwy vs 20mpg.
Has more midrange torque
Accelerates around the same

From anyone the standpoint of anyone else - BMW. More expensive in every respect, but it's a better built car, all around.

Of course it is a better built car, but not because it's a BMW, but because it's $30,000 more.

And this is coming from the guy who has owned an 89, 98 and 04 Mustang. They're junk.

That's just it though, the older Mustangs were built like shit compared to the new ones. The quality of Fords vehicles has gone up 10 fold, why is it you think they're comparing a Mustang GT to an M3 in the first place? A Mustang could NEVER brake or handle like an M3 until now. Mustangs were never built like they are now, never had a high tech, high revving V8 with variable valve timing and never had a German engineered Getrag transmission.
The Mustangs you've owned never looked or performed remotely on the same level as this one.
