The M brand is being diluted and flogged for commercial gain. I'm not a big fan of the X5M and the X6M or the M-sport treatment for that matter - even though I have had the M-sport in a number of BMWs over the years. My problem with where BMW are heading is their constant need to fill "niche" markets... the X6 is a prime example. A four seater sport coupe SUV? Funny how you can now get a 5 seat option. They will start on the even numbers soon with the 2er and even the M4. Even FWD in the next gen 1er! BMW seem to be trying to be all things to everyone and trying to fill or create new markets.

Sorry..late night rant over!
