Therefore ANY street, non-motorsport compliant M car is a violation of the original BMW M division intent. THEREFORE, going back to the original argument made, the X1M cannot violate the original heritage, because said heritage was altered the moment the division put out an M street car model. So all these M models you guys wax poetic about are technically an abomination in the eyes of "true" M purists who (if they are upholding then original intent) would advocate that no consumer M cars should ever have been made. Get it now?
I never mentioned the X1M, my original argument was because of this post which is completely wrong:
