I know that, but since everything is getting more and more efficient with smaller displacement it's cool to still see.

Sigh....really BMW ? Please don't dilute the M heritage by slapping 'M' on every friggin car...sigh

Sure to be flamed for this but sometimes I wonder if BMW was better 'back in the day' when it was a more exclusive perhaps snooty brand to drive ??

Me thinks now BMW is catering to people that may not really appreciate cars tuned for the driver.....they slap M tuned or M sport on it just to squeeze the consumer that has no idea what M has been since 1988 when the first production M3 was available

Looks like a decent selection for the show this year. Hopefully they bring LBB for the M2. I'd like to see it in the flesh.

Is this different than other manufacturers? Are M products not exciting?
There are people with a limited vision I guess you'd close any good business in no more than a couple of years with this thinking

Agreed. Unlike other companies who just slap sport emblems on a car, like F Line Lexus, BMW M cars are very exciting to drive. Once you go M, it's really hard to go back to a non-M BMW. It doesn't matter if it's a 1M or an X5M.

No sir. The M3/M4 Competition Package has been revealed and starts production next month.

He was merely remarking about its absence at this particular show. It has already been displayed at some smaller shows, so it's non-inclusion here is indeed a bit strange. It should be shown in Geneva however.
