And the complaint about putting an M badge on an SUV gets tiresome. BMW needed high power SUVs to fill a hole they had versus Mercedes and Porsche.
I guarantee I wouldn't be buying a Bimmer right now if they didn't have something in the same power range as a Cayenne Turbo S.
And why are people so upset about a silly marketing tool like an M badge? Does it make your M3 slower now that an X5 and X6 share a letter? You're the same type of people that complained about the M badge going on a 4000lbs Sedan and GT car too. Get over it.
