Well, I don't see the 5-er or 6-er competing anywhere that often?, the 1-er competes mostly as a hatch (indeed the only factory 1 racer is the 5-dr), the most prolific BMW race car over the last few years wasn't even an M (the E46 320iS and the E90 320Si).... and there is no M model Z4 despite the factory built GT3 spec race car.
.. and yet the X3 and X5 have been raced in the Paris-Dakar.
Sadly there is no actual precident for what qualifies a standard BMW for M-car status... just what makes a viable business case.
