Cynic should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
There's a very simple reason why the M3 doesn't belong at LM - it's a sportscar race. The M3 is not, and has never been marketed as a sportscar. Simply dropping a V8 engine inbetween the front wheels does not suddenly turn it into a GT racer. There's also the fact that you can walk into a Porsche dealership and order what is effectively a GT3-R with numberplates bolted onto it. Try doing that with the M3...... If BMW want to do endurance racing with the M3, they should take it to Spa or the Nurburgring where they traditionally allow that sort of machinery. Keep LeMans for proper sports cars.
