My car is not an M but it came with an Msport steering wheel with an M badge.

So m badges aren't just for M cars. Just sayn.

Yeah, well, the 2015 M235i came with 16.

16 badges say it's an M car. We say it's not.

Yes but those came on the car from the factory so you're not trying to fool people into thinking your car is a higher model car to earn respect....for example a guy I know put s-line badges all over his base audi a4.... or a tercel with a bmw kit or whatever this is

Really as long as you don't try and pass off your car as something it's not I don't have an issue. Then again it's not my car so who am I to judge?

I'd imagine many didn't like the yellow I chose for my car. And many more won't like when I do wide fenders.

So if it came on the car, or adding M parts that have a badge is acceptable, subtle upgrades/mods.

Adding M badges themselves is a no-no. Bad dog, no schnitzel.

I actually agree with that. BMWs used to be subtle in general. It's what I like about the 135. It's a sports car in common coupe clothing.

Maybe their ego couldn't take it, also why they bought the M in the fist place!

Honestly that's where I'm at. People really hate those little stripes apparently. Haha.

BMW put a bunch of my car from the factory, so adding one more set isn't that weird to me.

Also. I'll be swapping out my M wheels for some APEX here pretty soon. The way I see it, I just allowed myself to add four more since I'm removing them.
