I'd prefer they quit prior to gutting the M division and turning their motorsport legacy into mass market trash. Even the M2 is overweight, overpriced, and underwhelming, though its the "best" M branded car made in the past ~10 years.
BMW ultimately is in the business of selling cars, not preserving a brand legacy. All the German brands are doing the same — AMG and S aren’t what they once were. Even Porsche GT cars are more pliant and daily-able than ever.
Their new M8 "performance grand tourer" weights almost as much as a Ford F-150 Truck.... not kidding
You've said that repeatedly in the thread so I looked it up, and like everything it just depends. Dry weight for some F-150 configs is actually sightly less than an M8, but some configs (like the Raptor) weigh significantly more.
M2 Competition, while overpriced (like all BMWs), is universally beloved by owners.
