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.
Just because they can make a luxury sedan go around the track as fast as other "sportier" cars, doesn't mean it should. I go to the track here locally for my business a lot, you know how many M5s I've seen? I don't know but very few, probably less than a handful over the past 10 years. Rather have massaging seats in a 5 series than an M package.

That's just me though, wouldn't turn it away if someone gave one to me
