You took the words right out of my mouth. BTW guys, if you're really that offended by ///M badges on non ///M cars, I suggest you never ever go to the BMW dealer. I just left there and I think I saw more ///M badges on the regular cars than I did on the actual M cars. So I guess we should include BMW AG in this complaint also....

That would be because it has the M-sport pkg, completely different thing than what is being discussed. Applying (as a mod or add-on) an M badge is simply posing. Save the M badges for the cars that deserve them, the M and M-sport cars, there is no need to waste time and money being something you're not. These owners drive BMW's already, is it really necessary to pretend to drive a more premium model? Just be happy with what you have, most people don't even get the chance to have that.

M Badge or not, his car still looks nice. I like the rims/smoked tails and spoiler.
