Why? Because nearly forty years ago BMW named a limited production car the M1? Weak. Using current numerology, they'll probably save the M8 name for such duty. M1 as the top end sports car would be confusing now that there's a 1er, something that wasn't a problem way back when.

Seriously, if they were to name a sport ute the 507, would it really cause you to lose sleep? Who cares? It's an alphanumeric name from a brand with limited heritage. Ferrari will slap the GTO badge on all sorts of rubbish and people don't put up the fight that the M1 seems to get.

You didn't look up the original 328, did you?
