By that metric an E34 M5 would not be an M as it was good for 14sec quarter mile runs. But M cars are about a lot more than just speed. Leave that to AMG. M's are about balance - handling, feel, braking, accelleration - maybe in that order.
That said, the X5 4.6is isn't quite an M. It's a nice Alpina package, but not an M car. I don't think they should have done the newer X5-M either.
