In a totally seperate conversation from this topic.

In one corner you have the M1 - A BMW supercar from the 1970's a product of the angular era of design . And with it years of tradition and history in it's achievements . People claim that BMW do not wish to seperate the badge from it's iconic status to something relevant today.

So where you cannot have an M1 you can have a 1-M. Just as there is a Z4-M.
