For example, the new X5M and X6M obviously deserve the badge. The line has to be drawn somewhere, otherwise they should have just stuck the the M1/3/5/6 which were the originals since the 90's or earlier. People probably complained about the M coupe/roadster when it was going to be introduced for the same reasons, but that worked out right?

The M badge is being whored!! If BMW wants to make sportier parts and place them on their vehicles yet not go all out to the ///M level they should badge it something else, i.e. honda has the type R badge as well as a less sportier type S and even leas Si badge.

I wouldn't buy it if it came with 400hp. This ugly thing is going to screw with our hunt for tang. We mention we drive a 1er and have to explain that it's not this 1.
