Interesting and pointless discussion! Lot's of people want true M cars, but ditch them as soon as the warranty is ended. Why so, the cost of good maintenance, preventative and other. When I bought my 2006, Z4M Roadster, in 2006, many of my coworkers lusted after one or an M3. When I showed them the receipt for the first Inspection II, they all gasped. To a man they said no way. I suspect without the leasing option BMW wouldn't sell as many M cars. I still have my Z4M Roadster, my M235, heavily modified with Dinan components, and a 2020 Z4 M40i. The M2 wasn't available when I bought the M235. There is currently no Z4M and I doubt there will be. Making one would push the price to $100,000 or more, making it a truly niche car.
I enjoy all my cars and their individual characteristics. Life too short, get out there and drive!
