I've always taken the position most real M owners are confident enough with their cars and don't give a sh*t what non-M owners do. Did you start this thread because these misplaced M badges really bother you?
No badging is going to make a car a real M. You know what you have. You get to experience how special it is every day. I don't think M-sport packages with m badge dilute the importance of your fine automobile at all. Your car is still better, looks better, sounds better, and preforms better. I've got a 328 with factory M-sport package. Not once did I think, now I have a M car. I liked the look, it was factory stock, I liked the steering wheel, and I bought it. With absolute certainty I can tell you that true M cars did not become less important or less rare because BMW has chosen, brilliantly I think, to leverage the M brand. They are a car company and their job is to sell cars. As for the aftermarket M badge crowd, I would never do it myself but to each their own. They are not impressing anyone who knows and and those in the know are probably laughing and rolling their eyes.
Enjoy your great ride.
