Good point. There's definitely people who just want the highest perceived "status" and getting in an M division car, notably the M3/4, fulfills their wishes. There's a reason the steering on these cars has been watered down from prior generations, because enough of their customers are posers who don't want to put any effort into driving.

In the places I've lived there's a lot of luxury cars but M division products are rare, so I assume the owners are enthusiasts. But definitely in SoCal (and I'd assume SoFla) it's a different culture.
