And yet, you perfectly understood what they meant, because words can have different meanings dependent on the context.

Luckily, GP made it abundantly clear he wasn’t talking about a beemer.

It was definitely not perfectly clear. I was very confused when I first read the comment.

If we were talking about laptops I would know M3 refers to the processor, but there's literally a car named "M3" that's been popular for nearly 40 years.

He did not, nor did he make it clear - certainly not abundantly so - what they WERE talking about, which is the core and more important problem.

For example, just because it's abundantly clear they weren't talking about a Boeing 747 doesn't mean I have any idea what they were on about.
