What does the 'M' in BMW M9 stand for?

I've heard that the 'M' in BMW M9 stands for 'Motorsport' but I'm not entirely sure. Can someone confirm this?

Yes, the 'M' in BMW M9 does in fact stand for 'Motorsport'. The M series was originally created for BMW's racing division, but has now expanded to include performance-enhanced versions of their regular models.

As someone who has owned multiple M series BMWs, I can assure you that the 'M' definitely stands for 'Motorsport'. Not only is the performance top-notch, but the M series also has distinct styling cues that set it apart from other BMW models.
