People have what you perceive to be a "snobby" attitude to any M cars that don't have the classic M attributes such as RWD only, and manual gearboxes because of years of being told by BMW themselves that these aspects are what make a "proper" M car. It was a key point in their marketing. Now BMW are chasing every last Dollar/Euro/Pound, nothing is off the table if it helps shift a few extra units. Once the first X5 M was launched and we had a 4WD, auto gearbox, SUV, they lost all credibility.
