This is funny because my friend just recently purchased a X3 M40i and believe me he had no idea what the M stands for. He did not know about the M heritage. All he knew was that he bought a BMW X3. He thought that the car was just named an X3 M40i, hysterical. So yeah you are right he now knows what M stands for (I explained) and knows that his X3 M40i is not an M car.

Don't all the German luxury makes do this?
Basically your friend bought what we would've called a X3 40i w/M-sport pkg.
Just a change in name.
