Consensus on ///M Logo?
Ok so based on previous threads it is clear that removing your 135i badge and placing a ///M badge is <word for people of the same sex in a relationship>
But a 135i with a M-Sport package has the ///M logo on the steering wheel (and also on the shift knob and door sills right? anyone confirm this? I cant remember) So what about a ///M Sport license plate frame? That accepted by the BMW masses or |

This is a surpise, I thought this was going to turn into a heated debate lol
I was thinking about getting this license plate frame but then I realized no one (except for about .05% of the population) would understand the joke |

I left the 135I on the Boot (trunk) and put an "M" badge on the opposite side to balance the look

I respect everyones, choices and they may do whatever they want. But wearing M badge is like me wearing a Michael Jordan jersey. The good way to look at it is that I may be a fan

If it's not a M car, it shouldn't have a M on where the model designation is. You can do whatever you like, but you just get ridiculed by BMW enthusiast, ie, you just look silly.
Now, having M badges on body parts are generally okay as they signify M parts, like the M pack etc, or the M license plate is very acceptable. Having a M on the other side of that balance of the 135i is probably okay, and I can accept the M fan argument. The biggest no no is having the ///M where the 135i is. Just like this loser: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=269616

I recently walked into the boutique at my local BMW dealer, on the wall there were different license plate frames, all had a designation for the different model cars. So it would be logical to assume that a license plate frame with an ///M would disignate a M model car. The 135i is not an ///M model car, so from me.

"a 135i with a M-Sport package has the ///M logo on the steering wheel (and also on the shift knob and door sills right?"
Right. It's also on the wheels. "what about a ///M Sport license plate frame?" Definitely. (I have one.) The "///M" is exactly as on the above items. (There is no "3" or "5" etc. unless you specifically purchase that version.) FWIW - I removed my "135i" for cosmetic reasons - just to make the car clean, and highlight the Roundel and ///M on the trunk lid. And then I added something - Purchased a set of black M3 floor mats (the front ones, especially, fit the 128/135 exactly). Removed the "3." **poof** Instant matching ///M Mats for a 1!! |

No No No! The parts that come with the M package will have the M logo on there, that is acceptable. But re badging your car with an M logo just looks horrible.

Why not just say "tacky" or "inappropriate"?
In my opinion, owner installed ///M badging on the car itself looks tacky. The license plate frame is borderline for me. It's a matter of trying too hard to portray the car as something it is not. |
