They've been doing that for a while actually. Example, the new 3 is the size of the old 5. The new 5 is the size of the old 7.

Really doesn't matter much to me, the M brand is already being diluded by over-usage, moving to the "m4" reminds me a lot of Audi's s4, S5, s6 deal.

1) it will ruin tradition and history
2) its marketing suicide
3) i will still buy one, but remove the badge and replace it with an M3 one
