BMW's M division is as good as ever with their products and I'm certain the new M3 will be a hoot to drive. As far as sticking M on most of the products, that's something that Audi started with their S4 being moved down to 335i category in 2010, this forced BMW and MB to use M and AMG on their regular cars in order to keep up with "S" lineup cars. MB, BMW and Audi are all guilty of "diluting" those names but in reality, the people who know, know the difference between the proper M/AMG cars.
Well, personally I can’t wait to get my hands on the new 718 GTS 4.0, now that will surely be a “hoot”!
