Most established auto manufacturers have a halo car or two that tend to steal the headlines from their stablemates. Ford has the Mustang, Porsche the 911, and BMW the M3 and M5. Sometimes, this results in other great offerings going completely under the radar. Just look at how long it has taken for the Boxster to be recognized as a ‘proper’ Porsche. In BMW world, the M cars rule over all else, to the point that even lesser-known M models tend to pale in popularity to the more established M variants.
