Really? Because my wife’s Model Y is way more fun to drive than my BMW M3.

I wouldn't describe the model Y as fun to drive. It's comfortable and spacious but it's nowhere near a sportscar.
You should compare it to a BMW X6 or 6 GT, both of which are also not sportscars but still on the sporty end of the SUV like spectrum.
If you want to compare a fun to drive Tesla with a BMW I would take the Model S and the M5, both are large comfortable saloons designed to be fast.

You're almost certainly not the target demographic for an M3.

Bwahahah. Well, at least this example of gatekeeping can't hold a candle to Porsche drivers.

I mean, it's not gatekeeping, I'm not saying you can't enjoy it. But the M3 is meant for people that want performance, handling, and mechanical experience.
If you enjoy the Model Y more than the M3, then you prefer it to a car that has much higher cornering performance, much higher acceleration from the 0-60 all the way to 155mph, and of course the M3 is a much rawer experience.
If you don't, that's fine, it's just that the M3 wasn't made for you.
Model y performance and especially model 3 performance is faster then M3 that’s why bmw sales are crashing, they lost the performance mojo

The Model Y performance is 0.2 seconds faster to 60, and slower in every single other performance metric, as well as has pretty low range. I wouldn't call it faster than the M3, unless all you care about it is pulls in a straight line, which is indicative of not really being the target market for an M3.
As for the Model 3 performance, I agree.
