It cost BMW way more time/money/efforts to do SUV M cars than the Z4M...yet they chose the former. M cars are not volume seller either - how many X3M, X4M, X5M, X6M and soon to be X7M does BMW sell? The absurd part is that BMW will do a "Competition" version of SUV M cars, but yet won't do a simple Motorsports version of their one and only true sports car!
This is unfortunate of today's generation. As cars are turning into a rolling cell phones, it will be just an appliance.

Look what happened to the camera industry, people are using the cameras on cell phones and they have replaced digital cameras and as a result that industry is really hurting.
