If you read the review, he was looking for something to try out. He saw the real one in person one day and decided to buy it. He then decided to review both since he had both.

It is not quite like owning a 328 with M badges. It is like owning a 328 with the OEM wide body of the M3, with an M V8 under the hood, same exterior / interior and similar performance figures. It's not an M3, but you'd have a hard time telling without popping the hood and can't tell without the original side by side to compare. It is not quite possible in the automotive world but it is possible in the watch world because it's easier to make an exact copy of watch than a car.
