Slapping an ///M badge on doesn’t improve the appearance - it’s a poser move to trick non-enthusiast populations into believing your car is something it isn’t.

Like you said - to each their own - including those of us who don’t like it.

Thank you sir.

Big difference between upgrading parts for performance or looks, and straight perpetration trying to impress people.

There are people retrofitting all sorts of M looks (exhaust, bumpers, Steering Wheels, and more) … but do not slap the M badge on it or you will get shat on and ridiculed��

To each their own ��

Oh my… oh my! I do not lose sleep over what someone wants to do to their car/cars. It is their property 🤷🏽

It's not an M and you will find out in the streets or at the track. I was not aware that we have BMW patent holders in here 🙄

Sounds like someone is driving around in an IS-F M.

I just like looking at the funny badges.

there was an F30 330i Gran Coupe parked in front of our physical therapist office with an M3 badge on the back. Not only was the rebadging crooked but you could still see the weathered remnants of 330 behind it. I would have taken a picture but there was a large man sitting in it glaring at me.

If you were anywhere else other than Texas, I would say you should have taken the pic anyway.

Of anyone in the thread - you seem to be the most butt hurt and the most likely to lose sleep over a contrasting opinion about an ///M badge.

Nope, not at all. But you all keep commenting because this seriously hurts your souls! I gave my opinion on it, and I am done. You all keep losing sleep over something you have no control over and keep crying about it 🤣

I'm good 😎.

Did you actually read the thread? Nobody is upset in here. It's hilarious to see what some people will do to join the M club in the cheap... thanks for the opinion. Maybe this thread isn't for you..

That is repulsive. BMW should ban them from ordering again like Ferrari does if you paint it an outlandish color

...when did the whole M stripes in the grills start?

Gotta post a photo of the car I just bought (still waiting for delivery). Previous owner added the ///M badge (AND blind spot mirrors on the side mirrors, and pedals).

Any tips on adhesive removal (floss and chemicals)? lol
