Porsche cars are actual true sports car from the ground up, not apples to apples.
BMW starts with a 30k sedan and adds go fast parts to it.
Not the same thing or same league. BMW is FAR from Porsche.

You completely missed the point. No one is comparing BMW to Porsche. No one here cares that M cars are built off hum drum volume models, though that's actually a reason why people like BMW M.
Everyone here is complaining about brand dilution. Do you think Porsche owners sit and complain that Porsche keeps coming out with GT3 variants and diluting their GT line up for the 911?

FWIW, the GT moniker/nomenclature at Porsche is only added to the best of the best. We can no longer say the same for the ///M badge (...
and I'm not saying this because of the ///M2 variants; they are righteous ///M cars.....although people had issues with the 1M at first and the first gen ///M2 and considered them not to be real ///M cars because of the lack of bespoke this or that; people's memories are short). There was a time when that was true for BMW ///M though.
