I realised that ///M stood for Marketing, and not Motorsport, the day that I saw a 4-series diesel in my local BMW dealers which had more M badges on it than my M5 and my Z4M combined.
BMW will keep M as a "halo" product as long as it helps them to sell other cars, but sadly (judging by car adverts on UK TV), the emphasis for car sales these days is much less on performance and more on environmental credentials and whether the car has an internet connection.
Plus it's almost impossible to utilise the performance of my M3 anywhere on public roads :-(
