Ok well I suppose this is just a question of semantics then. To me, the existence of the
M235i naturally dictates that it is marketed by BMW M.
Even the M Sport models are marketed by M, although sales of that trim level don't count toward the M total for what that's worth (and for those closely keeping score).

I'm genuinely not following you at all, sorry. Either way, anecdotes don't mean much in the real world. Data typically does a better job of telling the story.
It seems to me that a significant number of folks hoping for BMW, and in particular, BMW M sales to tank in 2021 are in for disappointment. There is a huge contingent of buyers looking for tangible features such as a high performance German sedan with a manual transmission, and BMW has the only one now. AWD high performance vehicles are also in high demand, and BMW is building the portfolio there too.
