That only comes on the 6-speed and I have the DCT. But you're right anyway because I forgot the one on the dead pedal.

Well, at least I have 4. Must mean my car is 4 times better than a 'normal' 135i.
The ultimate, ultimate, ultimate, ultimate driving machine.

I only have 1 on the steering wheel. Does that mean it's a 1 M?

M tech: production car with bought m parts added to the car will have M badges in it M cars, according to BMW anyway M performance model: ex: M235i basically a production car with a tune and the Mtech parts, repurposed the old m535i name to create a tier equivalent to the successful S brand at Audi. The 'is' nomenclature used to fill this role... M2: The M car developed by the M division, usually with its own engine seperate from the production line and ideally supposed to be a detuned race engine, ala the e30 M3, e92 M3, M6 and coming 8. M2 M performance: you buy the upgrades on your M2 from the new M performance line M2 competition: more power and all the upgrades M2 csl/gts a weight reduced close to a race car as you can get street car I think it's dumb too. They kind of want to do what Porsche did to the 911 and scrape peoples wallets clean. Making 'the best' car about $30 grand later. Of course these stupid decisions are encouraged and rewarded by the type of people who buy / lease new cars. They need NEW and BADGES to upgrade to every year. I know a chock who upgraded her Camry to a brand new one because she NEEDED apple car play and the new one is "sporty" now. ? Remember when the old 8 series was an M car in develment but BmW refused to call it an M car because it was too big and heavy and would damage the M brand? Well the new generation demands stuff and things to show off and they will gladly pay a monthly fee for the privelage and BMW is happy to oblige. |

There was also the M Tech E30 stuff, like this E30 wagon that came with M badges, M stripes on the seats, and an M steering wheel. They also threw one on the engine of the 850CSi: Last edited by duder13; 08-21-2018 at 08:42 PM.. |

Never again. The last time I got cloth, my 3 year old projectile vomited in the car two days after purchase, and, man, that really soaked in. I had the whole damn thing reupholstered in leather.

Here is a longer, more detailed video of the original BMW Motorsport racing team. It's almost 20 minutes long, so watch it during your coffee/lunch break if you are interested. I was, and enjoyed it. If you've already seen it, then pass, if you don't feel like watching it again.
