Everyone knows the X5M and X6M are not track cars but in a sense souped up SUVs. I'd rather the M division be profitable AND able to kick out competition killer cars with innovative concepts than to not have M SAVs. As sad as it sounds...
If you people ran BMW M the division would go broke within 1 year... You guys have no idea what it takes to run a business.

Yes, this is really the same reason that Porsche decided to produce the Cayenne.
