You can't be serious?? Please tell me that was sarcasm. |
M35/40/50s are how they watered down the M badge. They should've created the S line to fill the gap like they did with 335is a decade ago.
AMG approach is the best IMO if you had to do it. AMG-ness increases with 35, 43, 45, 63 and the future 73. Low number is entry level but still holds a position of AMG.
With BMW, however, the focus is on the M badge legitimacy. No one other than some of their owners accept M35/40/50 are entry level M, which is a problem because that's mostly how they're sold as the factory intended.
