There's no Right! or Wrong! opinion on this matter, don't be childish.

340i automatic with a letter M added by Marketing dept. in front of the numerals is not an "enthusiast" car in my book. It's a marketing move to compete with a faux AMG C43, etc.

My wife drives automatic 440i, she's not an enthusiast, she just picked it because it sounded better than 430 engine and is effortlessly faster from light to light in traffic and merging into a highway.
She still doesn't know what those flappies do behind the steering wheel, I tried to explain and she was yawning before I even got to Sport Sport+
This is the majority for whom BMW builds their 3/4 series. Don't kid yourself, Kia had more enthusiasts in mind when they made 6MT available for G70 than BMW.
Again, BMW makes only 3 cars that geared towards enthusiasts - m2 m3 m4
I think you got purist and enthusiast mixed up.
