I'm glad you appreciate your car and I'm not judging but that's just the way it is. I have several interviews to back this up, if you believe I'm pulling this out of thin air.
Sure, i believe you, but I'm not an outlier, but definitely not the main target. Here is a poll I dug up which shows that 60% of M2 buyers are <38 yrs old, so there also goes that theory of young families not finding utility in these cars.

40% of buyers are older than 38, so the M2 really speaks to a wide demographic. Around here, all the M2s I've seen have been driven by 60+ yr olds
