Ok, let's have some really wild ideas from everyone...
My contributions:
1. How about a variable magnification VF ? You could have say a collar around the eyepiece which lets you select the magnification (ie. zoom
), possibly with a couple of click stops.
If this caught on, you would also only need maybe ONE frame line (in combination with click stops).
You then wouldn't need external viewfinders, VF magnifiers and three different M cameras
2. Really radical, this one: move the blasted tripod hole underneath the lens!
3. Spot metering possibility
4. A better-placed exposure correction dial (quite stiff, but without a safety catch - to enable one handed adjustment.
5. I want my self-timer back! Not so that I can get in the picture, but for vibration-free exposures.
OK, that's it. Keep the bottom-loading. I have no idea what it's supposed to be good for - but it makes the M nice and anachronistic

We're all light!
The M8's shutter, but quieter.
That's enough...time for bed.

Hey, isn't the beauty of shooting wide open outside the ability to use all those fine slow films that us night guys never get to touch?

How about adding a variable diopter adjustment, like all modern cameras have. Also, a rubber ring around the eyepiece should be standard, like all modern cameras have. Why should I have to ruin my $1,000 pair of glasses to use my $6,000 camera?

Compromise? $3000 lens with $3000 body is compromise? plus topic is "Revolutionary improvements for the next M" not how to keep traditions

We revolutionaries must stand together if we are to fight the Magus and his allies.
