Nope not joking, saying there "needs" to be a "true" M version of the x3 just struck me as funny.

M was for bespoke parts - now not so much. The brand gets diluted once every model starts using the same engine/trans, etc. But, you are correct and they can do whatever they see fit.

Yes, I've driven the x5m - hated it. Too big, too heavy.
