X4 always like a cheaper version of X6 for me. It doesn't stand on its own character.

I wonder if that Georgetown Law plate liner is fake as well?

Seeing these just reminds me how obsessed humans are with mere labels and the perception of status.

These people would even risk being shown up by an owner of a proper M car, so they can show the world that they are "special."

The badge and displaying it is very minor really, but I still feel disgusted by the whole mentality behind it.

If I'm driving a Toyota Corolla, I'm appreciating it for what it is, a great daily driver you can beat up, which will last forever. And that's perfectly fine in my book...

He isn't trying to be a m3, no quads, no kit. My 335 Msport came with the M badge just like that direct from the dealer. In my country it's normal for full Msport /mperformance cars to come with the ///M badge directly from dealership
