It seems to me that a significant number of folks hoping for BMW, and in particular, BMW M sales to tank in 2021 are in for disappointment. There is a huge contingent of buyers looking for tangible features such as a high performance German sedan with a manual transmission, and BMW has the only one now. AWD high performance vehicles are also in high demand, and BMW is building the portfolio there too.

Sure, you could be right that M high performance sales grow... or wrong and they don't...
BUT, we won't and can't know which because, to your point,
we don't & won't have the data!
Which does make one wonder, if you ARE right, why hide the sales data??
"BUT THEY'RE NOT HIDING IT!" you might say; If so, that'd be wrong because BMW is objectively
diluting 'M high performance' sales data with the ever-expanding-models and therefore much-more-likely-to-sell 'M performance' sales numbers, thus obfuscating ever getting a data-driven answer to your supposition on M High Performance models specifically.
So back to the question:
Why would BMW want to hide 'M high performance' sales numbers?
The sensible answer is because BMW is afraid your guess will turn out to be wrong.
