By putting an M badge in the rear you are implying that your car is legit M but it's really not and any aficionado will know on the spot when usually for the most part anyone buying an M car is a BMW fanatic.

//M is about as exclusive a group as the Camry owners club. Give the guy a break, the OE M sport cars come with the badge on the side (and a million other places), why is it a big deal if he puts one on the back too?
Car looks great OP. I always thought the 4GC was a bit awkward but this helps it a lot |

I love it, who cares what anyone thinks. You didn't badge it as an M4, you just put an M badge on it.
There are cars coming straight from the factory with as many M badges or more so I have no issue. So many sensitive people out there... if you want exclusivity go buy an exotic. |

Very cool! I agree with debadging the car; keep them guessing. Have you tried getting some of your parts through junk yards? There's a few totaled cars to find parts from out there now.

Looks very nice. Should have been offered this way from factory. Prefer the 4 Series Gran Coupe side profile to the 3 Series Sedan.

This car as a concept makes SO much more sense to me than an M4 coupe. BMW coupes have become a little bit ridiculous. The door size on the M4 is bordering on comical when you try to open it. The sedan is a little pedestrian though that's what I'd get. But the GC M treatment looks fantastic.

Jesus. Wow guys, give folks a break.
It's very common knowledge that BMW and M fanatics don't like M badges on non-M cars. In fact, most hate BMW putting M badges on their M-Sport or M-Performance models. We get it. We don't need to beat it to death every single day. OP, your car looks fantastic! |

OP, don't listen to all the mean ///M snobs on here:
The ///M badge is perfectly fine on your specially build BMW. Your car has M parts, so the badge is fine, just like we see the badge on 7 series with M package and such. None M cars do have M badge as per BMW.

On this 4-series GC, posted on BMW's website, there are 9 visible exterior M badges allready... -Front wheels -Rear wheels -Front brake calipers -Rear brake calipers -Front fenders So, at least 9 visible exterior M badges put on that "non-M" 4-series from the factory by BMW |

My gf sent me this pic the other day, saying she "saw an M2", at which point I was obliged to correct her...
This 235 came directly from the factory with an M badge on the trunk, yet it's not an M. In the OP's case, I would say it's not blasphemy to put the badge (a lot more deserving than the car pictured below), but he'd definitely hear a lot less whining from others (which takes away from the great job he did) if he removed it all together. Awesome looking GC! Last edited by Montreal M2; 04-03-2016 at 01:23 PM.. |

People who do this (I will agree, this looks good, and done very well... Hell I'd buy an M4GC if they built it) are nothing more then posers. I'll take my real M4 badges off, put some M6 hardware on the car and badge it as an M6. You know, because BMW should have built the M4 with some M6 parts. Be proud of what you've done here, just take off the deck badge and side markers the M4. You're trying to fake people (girls?) out by acting like you have something you don't, while at the same time being the laughing stock for girls and guys that know the difference. It's a lose/lose. All that aside. It looks good, no bullshit. |
