Sticking a 'M' badge on the side of every BMW - I would agree that is diluting the brand.

I don't believe I ever read a comment from a Porsche enthusiast stating that there are too many flavors of 911.

Difference being that BMW has or had recently like 9 or 10 ///M models, some of which are diluted even further:

M1
M2
M3
M4
M5
M6
M8
X3M
X4M
X5M
X6M

Several have had Competition, CS, GTS, etc.
I see your point.

BMW just makes too many models focused on the enthusiast. Perhaps the new CEO will put an end to all this nonsense and just make garden-variety sedans and coupes. Let Audi and M-B and Jaguar go after all those who want a more hardcore vehicle.
