and if you notice, on all the stories written about it
there is always the quote "drives like a real M car"
why is there an assumption that it would not?
unless...
BMW know this is not really an M
this is a 135is
but they are testing the waters for the Real 1M on the next body shape
so they are trying to drum up interest
I agreed with everything you said up until the 3rd last line (see BOLD and UNDERLINED above)

they are not testing waters, if anything they just know its not like a real M car (no M heritage), therefore they are possibly pushing the car onto the magainzes and the testers and making sure they say "good" things, such as " it drives like a real M car".


PS. Those gauges are disgusting, it looks like a fucken Subaru WRX or somethign.
