I'd be quite happy if all ///M cars looked like any other BMW as long as all the running gear was ///M (and it had some pukka bespoke comfy ///M seats etc)

Style over substance
BMW has figured this out. It's why they are going to only 2 platforms. M cars get a diff, stiffer suspension, and a slightly modified engine. No more big productions. Make the same formula in like 700 other exterior combinations and sizes and enjoy the profits. Now, 90% of what goes into selling M cars is probably how they look. It isn't the stark performance contrast any more.
