Agreed. M sport package has really watered down the actual M.
98% of people look at a base/standard car with M package and think "oh, that's an M car"
My friend has a 128i with M package and he gets asked ALL THE TIME, "is that 1M?" sigh...
The aura and the awesomeness of M has been gone a long time ago. Memory of the M1 can only last so long.
I'm super glad there won't be M version of i8. Let there be a stand alone M1 successor. As well as 8 series, X7, Z8 successor, etc.
