The latest generation M-Lite equals or surpasses the last generation M. It only makes sense. You have improvements across the product line and you use the last generation innovation in M for the current generation M-Lite.
People get so invested in what an M is, and it doesn't really matter. It comes from M snobs. I've owned M cars and non M Bimmers and one thing is true, even the non M are better than the market competition in driving dynamics and performace. There is a reason why Porsche, VW and Mercedes are having issues and BMW is thriving. BMW is building what people want, for the most part anyway.
People buy M, M-Lites, EV M, etc because they fit their lifestyle.
I say; but what you like and drive it.

i've made this arguement before when i said the 1M wasn't a real M car
... it didn't go over well...
the succeeding generations m235i was faster on every track... but that's not because the m235i imho was so good because no one remembers that car but rather the 1M was a weird parts bin car that just wasn't very good unless all you wanted to do was drift
