If BMW says the car is M, its because M.
Maybe in the future BMW changes everything and the performance BMW cars will be called "S Performance". For now BMW says "M for performance". That means M= sport cars from BMW. This is simple! I dont know why some adults acting like kids from 5th grade here. |

While you have been trying to prove that your WBA VIN car is in fact produced by BMW M AG, because it's faster (sic) than an RS6. More power to you! It's a nice car. Shouldn't have low self-esteem. |

I have an M-sport 540i and my Bro-in-law keeps ragging on me because he expected me to buy an M5. He bought his wife an X1 M and thinks its an actual M because it has an M badge on the back. He drives an F-series 530i and says his car is better than mine because he gets better gas milage. BTW, he's a douche and no one except my sister-in-law and his daughter like him. |

"EXPERIENCE THE BMW M AUTOMOBILES." -> M2-8,X3-6M "More outstanding power." -> M135i-Z4 M40i I think you proved it yourself. An M550i is not an M automobile. Glad you agree now. |

M. The most powerful letter in the world. BMW M is part of an exceptional motorsport history and stands for a passion for high performance. One that can be felt every day – on the street or on the racetrack. What makes BMW M a trailblazer is the engineers' passion for combining authentic motorsport functionality with exclusive and sporty aesthetics. The products are just as unique as the brand. Inspired by motorsport, the exclusively outfitted BMW M automobiles easily fulfil the highest demands for agility, dynamics and power. list of BMW M Automobiles above Cars built by BMW M, a subsidiary of BMW. —————————————— M Performance automobiles – from the first metre – trigger maximum fascination.

This whole thread is proof why companies spend millions on marketing.
It never ceases to amaze me how impressionable people are to corporate marketing tricks. I take the example of the m340i (which happens to be my daily driver). There is no 340i anymore. So the m340i isn't any higher on the totem pole than the 340i it replaced. BMW simply gave the 340i a tune, slapped an m in front of it, and now people are going ballistic debating its place within the "M" cars. Dynamically it's identical to the 330i. The M3 on the other hand is a totally different monster. Same story with the m550i. BMW replaced the outgoing 550i with an m550i. Yes it's got a more powerful motor, but it doesn't handle any better than the 540i, whereas the M5 is again a completely different monster. Cars such as the m340i, m550i, etc are examples of BMW capitalizing on its brand power to increase interest on the outgoing 340i and 550i models by slapping m badges in front of their names. And don't come at me with "oh but the m340i has more power than the outgoing 340i". That's just natural progression between generations. The non m-sport g20 330i ALSO has more power/torque than the outgoing f30 330i.

When I was shopping for 4-door coupes (panamera, 4door GT, and 8 series), I drove both the M8 and M850i, the only tangible difference I felt on the test drive with a bit of highway and street is that the M8 is considerably harsher even on "comfort"...
And the M8 dont' have the nice looking glass shifter (and no option for it)... I think the Mx50i series are what Mercedes now called "AMG Tuned" 43/53s? I mean I tried the 840i too, and right off the bat, the 850i was massively more "push" off the line than the 840i... but between the 850i and 8, I couldn't tell tbh... tbh, BMW M companies build the car off the same assembly lines as normal BMW cars don't they? Last time I checked, the M5/M6 were build in Dingolfing Germany, same place where the 8 series are built. Last edited by shachiku; 11-15-2021 at 06:21 PM.. |
