Fans like us care, but I can only imagine how frustrating it is for some of them, especially the old timers.
To the ///M engineers' credit, when given a directive (that they probably disagreed with), they go to work and make a fat pig like the X6 actually perform like an M.

Engineer here and you are so right. If it were me, I would bitch and moan about how it doesn't technically have the parts for the M, but money is money.
I like the idea of a debadged M3. That would look mean, and as someone else stated, only car enthusiasts will notice either way.
