The E92 M3's that are currently competing in the GT class of ALMS with factory support are quite competitive in a field filled with Ferrari F430 GT's, Porsche GT3 RSR's, Corvette C5.R's and Ford GT-R's. So I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss BMW's ability to compete with the very best of the best.
And you better believe that the folks that were previously working on the Formula 1 effort are quite involved in that car's development. I would have to assume, that will continue to transfer over to the customer-bought M cars BMW produces. Now if they'd stop producing M cars with that other terrible letter in the badge... X.
