I recognise there are different levels of 'M' cars which enthusiasts here are not ready to accept

I'm not sure if we're even reading the same chart because, as I've mentioned earlier, even BMW themselves don't consider M Performance Automobiles to be M Models.
In the link shared by
M3 Adjuster , they are clearly separated by a gap in the chart and even color-coded.
So once again, while for purposes of statistical sales numbers and portfolio, M Performance Automobiles are definitely M products, BMW themselves have decided to make a distinction between M Models and M Performance Automobiles from a categorization standpoint.
Perhaps it's advisable to take a page out of your own book, and stop blaming enthusiasts for manufacturing a hierarchy, when BMW themselves are the ones inclined to keep it differentiated.
Still, the important thing to remember, is that M Performance Automobiles are great cars in their own right. Different and differentiated isn't a negative thing in this case.
The differences between M Performance Automobiles and M Models are what makes both categories great choices for their respective customers.
