Good question Pete. Maybe why Tesla will do so well? Who knows.

Have not read the Tengocity link. Too lazy!

Calling it an M2/M3/M4/M5/M6 xDrive seems a contradiction of the M moniker. Will they call them Mx? Like a Mazda! However, that's progress and it will overcome the wayward tail happy shenanigans of M cars in the wet. Game on Quattro and bet BMW will really trounce Audi this time.

The M is semi-dead, long live the Mx!

Well, it is one car I can imagine buying instead of a BMW.

Others would be Jaguar, Porsche, Mercedes, possibly Audi (can't see it though)

I suppose Maserati too.

Other than that we're talking brands that are out of my reach unless something significant changes in my life
