Enjoy your tea...

I was referring more to slapping an M badge on the front grille or before the model number at the back, but you’re all right that there’s a ludicrous amount of gate keeping about M Sport models as well.

Still it’s like anything I suppose, some people have to put others down to make themselves feel better.

“If it’s got 4 cylinders it’s not a real BMW.”

“If it’s not an M car it’s not a real BMW”.

Etc.

That's not without precedent either. E30 M-Technic cars in a few non-US markets got this badging, and the E24 M6 was just an M635CSi everywhere else.

Ask me about Derek Carr's stolen MVP awards, those dastardly refs, and, oh yeah, having the absolute worst fucking gimmick in The Football Funhouse.

That's why I really love the spec of my 3-series, because it has sports suspension, sports seat and the sport steering wheel, and not a single M-badge or piece of carbon fiber, fake or real, anywhere.

It's also an automatic transmission diesel stationwagon.

As terrible as the entire concept of this shitwagon is, it's incredibly fun to drive and the the 2nd row is the comfiest experience you can imagine.

I had a client arrive yesterday with a big lifted Ram and was as insufferable as you would expect. The moment he left, I yelled out to no one in particular in the workshop 'gently caress that douchebag compensating'... within earshot of my boss who also owns one lol. He's also one of 'those' cyclists so doubling down on the dumbfuckery.
