So it's M5, M3, but the M1 is badged as just M? Really? It seems BMW is going out of their way to make the marquees confusing and a jumble.
Curiously the M1 does not appear on BMWUSA website.

M1 was an old BMW supercar that looks like the love child of a Lamborghini Countach and a Saab Sonett III, made to loosen your kidneys before the inevitable organ donation that would follow.
The "1-series M Coupe" is named so to avoid confusion with the M1.
Likewise, there's M5, but X5M, because calling it MX5 would collide with the Mazda.
