M is definitely not about motorsports anymore, it's about selling fancy exclusive marketing badges to the rich... not that I wouldn't be doing the same if I was running the business but it's hard to get excited about cars as such.

I can only hope the next M3 will bring some excitement back to the brand.
Well put. Hope the future M3/M4 does not follow this trend. If I wanted an expensive boat I'd get a Cobalt.
