""M has never been dogmatic about any particular technology "
Well... not for LONG at least.... because 10 years later we change our minds..
Let us consider the things that they have " not been dogmatic about" in the past...
M cars have individual throttle bodies...…
M cars are naturally aspirated
M cars will NOT have runflat tires
M cars only have S motors …
M cars are rear wheel drive
M will not apply to SAV …
M mirrors....
M means carbon fiber roof..
M means quad exhaust tailpipes
M means no spare tire..
M does not mean 7 series .......
All items that BMW has at one time been dogmatic about... that is .. until they changed their mind...
