Yeah sorry I was specifically talking about M and not BMW as a whole. USA is top market for M.

Thanks for clarifying - yes, USA, Germany, UK are typically the top 3 at least for the M3/4.

Why not completely redesign the BMW badge too while they're at it?

I must be weird and an outlier as I wait to drive cars before making comments about them. To be honest as well, how a car feels to me when I'm behind the wheel is far more important than if I really don't happen to like the mirror or front grille designs. I am driving an i4 now and there are a few cosmetic things that I don't particularly like, but the car drives like I'd expect a BMW to drive, so all is good and I'd lease another one in a heartbeat. Bring on the longer range i3 - I can't wait to drive it.
