Lest I get misunderstood, I would like to say that a M car is a totally different beast to the M Performance car. It's entire package renders it a different car. Forget the power dynamics alone. That doesn't give the M car it's proper dues. For me it's the whole theatrics, dynamics of the car that make it a class if it's own. But that said, these M Performance cars are really special and deserve their props as well. The M division has an active hand in their engine tuning and driving dynamics and that's a fact, not some insinuation because of the several M bits that are littered across the car. To say that it's a 330i or 340i with some M sport adornments betrays one's level of understanding. The M240i and M340i should be respected, and they are not meant to transcend their M counterparts.
