Reading between the lines, I think what that means is that Motorsports got absorbed by M-Division - not so much of a merger but a takeover, or some such.

Tell that fable to yourself next time you strap on your helmet and racing shoes and climb into a Cayenne or Panamera.

Taken as a headline, this sounds promising. But the actions are reduced BMW presence in motorsports. So I’m not sure how to look at this...

I could swear "M" was for Motorsport! Hahahaha. Guess all the forums were right and it was just M for Marketing. 😁. Hopefully this means the cars get a sharper focus going forward.

Screams a simple cost reduction measure for BMW. Doubt any added benefit to the M car comes from this. It's already going hybrid....puke

With all the moves BMW makes from their old brand identities, I suggest as a new name:
BMW HMMM
