Is the m140/240 considered an M car?

Not forgetting the M88 fitted to the M1.

Speaking of this engine, I think anyone who likes an M-engine should revisit this clip of possibly the best sounding M engine that I've ever heard. The M1 as it should sound:

The sound of the road cars M88 at 7,000 rpm just behind you ear is sublime, what the pro car sounds like at 9,000 rpm I can not imagine!

Taken from just about where your ear is

By the way many M135/40's seem to become attached to my rear bumper I think they want to try and prove they are M cars...

They are suffering from Golf R syndrome. All the cheap leased Golfs are going back and the M140i is a cheap car on a PCP. There's a lot of young and overly enthusiastic owners.

What they don't realise is they're barking up the wrong tree, as I had trouble keeping up with a well driven Evoque the other day.
