But that statement could just as easily mean "it's a legitimately quick car, fast enough to deserve some kind of distinction from the regular lineup, and who cares how BMW decides to make that distinction; I certainly don't."
At the end of the day, anyone familiar with BMW will know Mxxx doesn't mean the same thing as Mx. And everyone, familiar with BMW or not, will recognize that the car is pretty quick.

i have no problem with this car...in fact i think its the best looking car in the current fleet of bmws (m3/4 really isn't out yet for me)...and i agree it does have some serious performance.
but my statement to the original quoted poster of how bmw got what they wanted in his response, I still stand by - "sorry thats what its called and the M moniker will go with it", exactly what bmw planned to do, no differentiation in his post as long as it has an M.
