Mpower .... I presume you have M monicas on your car too. Just because they are not on the boot is irrelivant because your car is plastered with them anyway. By using your logic then you would be in agreeance that BMW "THE COMPANY" are giving their M3 the ultimate insult.

After all this debate, my car still has a ///M badge on the boot since August last year. And the glue/sticky tape doesnt look like its going to fall off anytime soon!
Interesting debate but all comes down to opinions and what one believes in. I do what I like to my car to enjoy it & I do listen to you guys for advice, but ultimately, it still comes down to my decision on what stays and what goes on my car. You guys enforce what each of you believe in on your own car as really this thread will never end as it is so opinionated.

BMW use the "M" moniker for their motorsports division not only for factory mods and tuning but also on their "sports/ race inspired" aftermarket parts. This latter part is pure marketing to maintain BMW's sporty image (An "M" wheel or gear knob may look good, feel good or be better ergonomically but it won't really make the car go faster/better). I'm not sure BMW ever put an "M" badge on the back of any of their cars from the factory (asia or otherwise) if they were not an M3, M5 or M6. Therefore, IMHO, the badge on the BACK of the car (have you noticed that the model delete option has itself been deleted?) should denote what is under the bonnet and nothing else. I say this because this thread is now a debate about BMW's use of the "M" moniker. I do not pass judgement on others (you can do whatever you like), but this is my 2 cents worth. ![]()

Understatement is fine by me, but posing as something better than what you are is the same as those chicks you see all hammed up at establishment on a friday night trying to find a guy with money! Mutton dressed up as lamb! Not cool!

Yep ..... Now I'm really going to put it on so MPOWER can yell abuse at me.
![]() ![]() ![]() And by the way MPOWER, I'm not taking a swing at you for having the M monica on your car. Yes your car was born as an Individual M Clubsport and I'll correct you that mine was born as a 320I M sport. Same difference in BMW's use of the M although in both our cars, the M stands for "Marketing". |

at that time, i had hoped bmw (asia) didn't go this route and just followed the uk style of just calling them 325 Sport or 330 Sport (which essentially had the same kits -- body, steering wheel, seats, wheels, anthracite headlining, suspension, etc.). and, yes, there was debate within these countries' enthusiast groups, too, on bmw's use of M on those. |
