The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com) - View Single Post - X5 4.6 not an M

I had a chuckle today.

BMW has made a big deal that M cars must have real wheel drive and a manual transmission. The X5 4.6 misses on both counts and was therefore not given an M title. OK.

BMW NA just called for their CSI regarding delivery of my X5 4.6 two weeks ago. So, when this woman calls, she says "I'm ??? from BMW NA and I'm calling to congratulate you on your purchase of your new 2002 BMW X5 4.6 M..."

Guess BMW marketing gurus forgot to tell their survey people about their M marketing program.
