No matter what car you have, someone else will have one that's better.

Trying to dress your car up into something its not is stupid.

BMW doing that at the factory by sticking M body kits and logos all over entry level 3 series BMW's is equally stupid. ... As is Ford selling a 4 cylinder mustang.

I often get asked "ooohhh that's a //M car isn't it" (Mine's a de-badged 135i with the tri-colour kidney grill). I always say "no, it's not a real M. BMW just gave it a ///M body kit. They do that to all their cars now. I've done alot of work to it, so it is as fast as a M in a straight line, and just as much fun to throw around. But no, it's not a real M."

That said, most people think modifying your car to make it go faster or handle better is pointless and stupid. (why didn't you just buy a 'real //M' to begin with).... so each to their own I guess.
