I’m seeing a lot of defenders in here now. So what’s changed that perception? Any specific car? M240? M550? M340? M440?
I think for me the M badging is OK when there isn't an M car AND when the car is quite different to other models in the range. Such as:

M135i, M140i in the F20 generation as it was the only 6 cylinder in the range, unique body work and so on

M760Li due to the same reasons, just 12 cylinders

I don't like how there is an M340i, then an M3, or M550i, then an M5.
