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.

M cars nowadays are for a wider audience and for everyday use!
A true M, Motorsport car like the GTS does nobody want to drive everyday, it's a fun car like a GT3.
So in case to sell an amount of cars, you need to sell what your audience wants!
