4.6is - Why Is It Not Designated An "M"?

The 4.6is is certainly the high performance version of the X5. It has superior brakes, suspension and horsepower as well as all of the options. Why did BMW decide not to call the 4.6is the M version?

I had heard it was due to the fact the X5 is not a car and they would not designate a SAV as an M. True or wives tale?

If BMW had wanted to designate the 4.6is as an M version what would it have been? The M X5? I think Mazda already has a claim on that one! The MX??

What do you guys think????
