I would say the X5M is a ballistic missile and qualifies as a true M
But I also understand the argument
That said, you could argue the M5 is too big or the M8 is too grand tourer
At the end of the day if M does their thing they take the model series and amp it up to 100. To me, that’s M by definition
But let’s be honest the XM is not an M
And neither is my iX
And the branding is completely out of control
And to now classify all that sub M stuff as M sales… a travesty
