Nobody said anything about Audi S models for years, which have been pretty much the same. Don't know why BMW is getting that much hate for doing the same.
Just to qualify your statement....you don't enter the M world in the M550i. They are apples and oranges (and I had a 2019 M550i for 2 years). It is not a real M car.....end of story. They are quick, though, and great bang for the buck....as opposed to the pathetic AMG53 and AMG43 models...which not only aren't 63's but are slow overall.
