I can understand that.
Sure, ///M cars may be heavier and less "pure," but one can say that about the rest of BMW's line as well. I don't think ///M's philosophy has really changed. They make faster, more special versions of BMW's normal models, like they always have.

That's a good point u have at the end. How do you feel about the x5/6 M? Personally, I love them, but I don't know why.
Conversely, I would rather perform my own vasectomy than drive an R Class AMG.
I think an m car works for a particular segment, only if you could picture a cinema hero driving one, sans irony.
Sure Mr and mrs smith has a bádáss minivan chase, but in reality an amg version adds nothing to that.
