Okaaayyyy now I guess I can get my "M" badge without feeling guilty. Since in Europe my car would be called E39 M-Facelift.......but most Americans dont know anything about that..they would just flame for even having an "M" symbol on the trunk...sigh...I still love my american brothers(and the occasional sister)though!!!
Ahhh, some of us Americans know about the Euro cars, and aren't so quick (and judgemental) to bash you for simply putting a badge on your ride. You'll find alot more //M bashing going on at E46fanatics (They get a little too serious there..), but here you're pretty safe..
I recall one post about this, a guy was saying that "If you actually turned your car into a //M by changing out the engine, tranny, interior, suspension etc, all the 'real' //M components, then you 'earned' the right to badge it //M".
I say to that.. If I spent that sorta money on my car, to hell with //M badges, I'd put my own damn initials on the back of the car!
