What are Deutsche Bahn's "M" trains/routes?
When I was searching for a train route between Salzburg and Munich on https://www.bahn.com/, a lot of the routes in the results had "M" in the product column (for instance, the first and the last row of the attached screenshot).
What are those trains? They seem to fall under regional trains according to DB since it says a Bayern Ticket would cover them.

I think I found it.
I was tipped off by another weird train abbreviation, RJ. A quick search reveals that RJ stands for RailJet, an Austrian Railways train. So I went to their website and searched for the same route and, unsurprisingly, got the same timetable as in the screenshot in the question.
But there was something more: an operator name. M seems to stand for Meridian, a German rail service according to Wikipedia.
There are quite a lot of pictures of their trains on Wikimedia.
