I feel like M cars started to lose their status when they lost their special engines.
You couldn’t buy a “normal” BMW with an S65, S85, S54, etc.
Today’s M cars have reworked engines from the standard lines, and they’ve dropped the sharper DCT in favour of the too-smooth ZF even in the M3/M4.
Don’t get me wrong, the new cars are crazy fast and capable, but it’s come at the expense of the raw and more rarified driving experience.
My 2020 G01 X3 30i came with M badges all over it, it’s kinda silly.
