But all Omegas have multi valves.

Presumably (as I say, it was originally the German versions of the elite) we should be looking on the german language for words which might fit the bill.

Meisterschaft Vehicle 6-cylinder, something like that? (from the german version of the BTCC,  DTM, deutsche touring meisterschaft)

Well my theory's gone down a storm, as usual, I see 

Meisterschaft V6-Zylinder
(Championship V6-cylinder)


Let's be honest, they've just ROBBED the idea of 'M' sounding cool and sporty from BMW haven't they!?!?

I like this...

especially this bit:
"M for monkey.
There are actually 3 hidden monkeys under the hood to make it run faster. They pull switches and levers at various times to kick in afterburners, etc.
According to BMW it does stand for "Motorsports" but it's really the secret monkeys."

Rather like the Trunk Monkey (look that up on youtube - it's work safe!)
