This is hardly the first time BMW has gone out and used the M badge on a car that's not a "real" M (this is an M535i)
I was on another forum talking about this. BMW comes out with a FWD 2er Active Tourer, everyone revolts. BMW comes out with a small coupe, I6, available with 6MT and everyone freaks out over the M badge and "fake" sound. I know which one I'd be more upset about
