Can you help me understand the greater "practicality" of the M235i versus the E92 M3?

Really comes down to a few things:
Fuel economy - got about 210 miles per tank (17gl) vs 310 per tank (13gl)
Maintenance - m3 out of warranty, was running bigger tires (19" 295/265 respectively), oil changes and also coming up on 60k maintenance.
Car was bigger than what I needed for living in a city. Was really considering an MY'15 Mini Cooper S
The "M tax" is real! In all seriousness though peace of mind from having warranty and maintenance covered was key. The F80 M3 wasn't in the budget so this was the best option. I do miss the M3 but glad to have experienced it for 5 years. This is a fun little car and maybe an M2 will be in my future.
