blah blah, M, blah......My only previous BMW was a 2005 X3; coming from a Jaguar F type and Mercedes C class, I don't have any built in "M" bias and frankly don't care what they call the Z4 M40i; I bought it because it looks great and performs better than all the other cars in it's class with the exception of the overpriced Boxster....and I didn't like the P's four cylinder.
As a newcomer to performance BMW's , it never occurred to me that BMW fanboys from old would consider two and four door sedans more "sporty" than a 400+ hp, two seat roadster.....seems weird to me but whatever. Because of my lack of history, I don't take issue with the M badges on my car but since the factory put them there, they aren't "fake" IMO. .....totally different than adding badging that was never put on the car. Not sure what the M means now that they put it on 5000+ lb SUV's anyhow....
ok, carry on. :-)
