I got an email back from CarPoint!!!

In response to their screwed up M3 testing stats:

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I assure you, we do know the
difference between an M3 and a standard 3-Series. Due to an import
problem when integrating Mr. Heraud's review into Carpoint, the data for
the M3 and 3-Series was inadvertently merged. This will be corrected
tomorrow when the site update goes out.

Thanks again.

LOL

No, I assure you it's for real.

Although I think their claim that they know the difference between an M3 and regular 3-series is quite suspect.
