It's been like this since the F-series at least, so about 10 years now. There's E46's driving around with a M logo on the steering wheel that are not M cars.

Of course it's getting a diluted a bit, but stock M badges are not "fake" M badges, just like stock M performance cars are not "fake" M cars.

So this discussion is somewhat off-topic for this (light-hearted) thread.

My E36 318ti had M badges on the sides and an M Sport steering wheel. M sport models started a long time ago. And yes the badges were factory badges on a US model.
