I am in the same boat!

I have a 2015 BMW X4 xDrive35i M Sport with all the options and tech you could ever want. It's comfortable, easy to drive and has great performance for an SUV. That being said I also have a 2007 Z4M roadster that has very little technology, not much luxury, and few creature comforts ... but it is what I consider a true ///M car.
For me M is about motorsports and performance not about luxury, phone connectivity and GPS. If BMW makes a new M version of the Zed please remember we don't need all that crap, we just want performance.
I think back to my 2005 E46 M3 ZCP 6sp manual ... It only had one "M-button" on the steering wheel, no cruise control and the radio was an option. It was a sports car and it was a "de-contented" version of the standard M3 but with bigger brakes, lowered, suspension and wider wheels .... Sweet!
That was my favourite BMW and my Z4M-R is a very close second for the same reasons.
