I mean, c'mon it's a luxury sedan, nothing M about it. One of the other things that has made me dislike BMW. Slapping that M on everything. Just like the X5M or whatever they call it, GTFO with that shit!

That being said I had a 550 for a while, an F10 I believe. I liked it, however it was certainly not a sports cars, but that's not what I bought it for. At that point I had a 2016 Camaro SS to get my jollies so it was fine.
I normally wouldn’t say anything, but that “not a real m” comment made me take a look at lap times.

Hockenheim Short track times:

F80 M3 - 1:13.10
F90 M5 - 1:10.60
MKVI Camaro SS - 1:14.00
F85 X5M - 1:14.40

Just because it’s not a rwd car, doesn’t make it any less of an M car.
