I don't really care that they did it, just think it's weird. The last time they had a car like that though was the E12 M535i from decades ago as far as I know.
Not correct. M division is expressly cited as having tuned the N55 for this model.

The M235i is the first "M Performance" car in North America. Overseas, they also have the M135i, the X5 M50d, X6 M50d and the M550d.

Check out the M Division's website, under "Powered by M".
