Nothing special, and the true worth is the good work behind, great engines, chassis, racing sport commitment, and bring a sporty version of the balanced saloons BMW sells for its subsistence.
The wrong use of it imho is clearly the confusion they made in recent times just to use it as a trim for all saloons, failing to differenciate M cars which gave the brand its value in the first place.

They still differentiate "real" M cars clearly enough:
M* (C, CS etc)= M car
X*M = Sporty, capable SUV equipped with an M car engine
M**i = Conventional BMW with M trim and some performance oriented parts
