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. |
And your point? You do realize technology and standards changes over time no? You are referencing an era where consumer electric cars weren't even invented and now we have electric cars that can go 0-60 in under 2 seconds. You people point to heritage as if its something that is defined in one moment of time and then is static. Heritage evolves in the same way technology does.
