why try and convince a community of individuals (some of which know the exterior of a BMW more intimately than their wives) your car is something other than the model you purchased?

Be a man, grab some fishing wire, de-badge that shit, and appreciate you own a BMW.

They sell a $7 BMW M badge on their official site which condones this. They should have let that job to the fake market, instead of mildly pissing off their M car buyers. Imagine ROLEX selling a rolex dial that you can put on fake watches. This is what the Germans are doing.

As insignifiant as this seems it WILL make me look at other brands in the future. I guess they don't give a damn for the relatively small M owners base.
It's a pin you wear in your shirt. Not an emblem you stick on your car. All you need to do is go on ebay, or even any one of our vendors here for emblems.

I have yet to see a single one and there are plenty of non GT-R nissan on the roads. It's definitively more common with bmw's as faglers think they can get away with it , not when the car chassis is completely redesigned.

He even has the license plate frame too.

I noticed almost all the BMW in Formula Drift have M-stripes on the grille. Whatcha think about that since most are LS powered?

Heck when I debadged the E36 race car I put the M on the wife's Toyota Sienna. "Fastest car in the carpool line." Clearly it was a joke, but some folks didn't appreciate the humor.
