Notwithstanding those who totally rebadge a 320i as an M3, if you have a 320i, debadge it and put ///M badges on the trunk and sides, you're trying to get people to *think* you have an "///M car" and not a base BMW. A true enthusiast would either simply de-badge, or leave the car badging as is.

All my opinion, of course. People can do whatever they want with their own vehicle. I might just chuckle a little when they drive by
What about the people who don’t remove their 20i/28i/... badge and put an ///M logo beside it? I mean, you can’t really say they want to fool anyone, otherwise they would remove the existing badge.

Regardless, I personally put a 218d badge on my M240i and I also ordered an M sticker which I hope arrives soon for the full effect
