I used to own an 'M' edition BMW 318 Ti. Wolfgang, the German mechanic I used to take it to for service and repair in Walnut Creek, said that the 'M' stood for money.

That comment reminds me of a commercial in the 80's where one of the US mfgs was making fun of a "Fine European Car" that always had to go see Dieter, the mechanic at the dealership for some minor service or another. The thrust of the commercial was how much the owner could have saved if only he had bought the mfgs fine American car.

Unfortunately, the "Fine European Car" is probably worth more today than the American car the mfg was promoting.
