I also think the the M badge is way overused in the BMW lineup now.

Well Said Mr. Roboto
I really like BMW's but currently BMW does not make a car that I would buy.
I don't care about Nurburgring times - I care about the driving experience. Yes I am old school but this old school driver created the demand for the original M cars. I feel they have strayed too far from the original DNA. I'll never forget Peter Gregg picking me up in high school in an old CSL - What a lasting impression and departure from our family's Buick Riviera!
Thank you - I'll be keeping my 1M.
