Car enthusiasts, on other hand, still know the reputation behind the M cars, even with the new M Performance line. I don't understand what's exactly being lost here.

Besides, I can't barely comprehend the thought that owners of M3's/M5's/etc only bought it to show it off to their friends. If that's the case, they should move on to the likes of Porsche or Ferrari.
I think you are misunderstanding what some of us are saying. This has nothing to do with showing off. I could care less what other people think. This has to do with keeping the heritage of the M models intact. It has to do with what the M stands for. These cars should not be diluted for the sake of selling more cars. I'm not sure why this is so hard to understand.

The M cars are supposed to be in their own class. If it is not an M car don't put an M badge on it. If people want an M car buy one.
