I know the new M2 will be built in Mexico (as I've heard) so there are exceptions in terms of WHO builds the car but not who creates the car on an engineering/testing level
I agree. BMWUSA website for the M340i it states "Enhanced performance and design, engineered by BMW M." so it's clear that they are classifying these cars differently than ever before and separating them from the 330's etc..

It's just toxic when I've seen members getting bullied by others saying "let me guess, you call your car an Mxxxi" when thats exactly what they are called by BMW. No reason to discourage people from enjoying their cars
