Car comes standard with the badge. It's BMW's fault for whoring out the M badge. They should just make it say Msport instead to differentiate it from M car.

Although i do agree the m badge is kind of tacky and it is being whored out on cars that arent truly m.. All of you commenting about it care a little too much. We all know more people will leave it on than take it off because they either don't care, like it, or want to show off that they went for the more expensive version rather than the base. Other brands do it- audi and their s line and merc with amg amd have been doing it for years. Doesnt justify bmw doing it too but we all know why they introduced the 4 series nomenclature - so they can charge substantially more for the coupe than the sedan, which is the same reason for these unecessary m badges- $. Many people want to show off that they spent a lot on their new ride and this is just another way of doing so.

ok.. so when is Long going to fit the f32m sport on an e92? would love to see that!
also, are the lights of the f30 and f32 the same shape? if not i bet you could do bumper and lights from the f32 onto the f30 no problem and get those sexy led headlights.

Yes, that was definitely well said. Quote:
The M badge on a non M car is used to show that elements of a true M car have been used in the design process of these non-m parts (i.e. aero bodykits which are derived from M cars, for example). BMW could have differentiated this from the true M badge by calling it Msport, but that still won't change the fact that it will use the same ///M logo and heck, people may even start to think that an ///Msport is better than a regular ///M LOL! It would be unwise of BMW to call it something other than M, since it is the name that is synonymous with performance and heritage and what ultimately leads to greater sales success. It also gives people a chance to feel part of the M family when they can't afford it and it is unsettling to see mostly M car owners whining about the fact that BMW is diluting the brand. Let the people have their non-M ///M badged cars for crying out loud! And to those M3 owners, nobody is going to confuse a 320i M-sport with your M3, so you don't have to worry about that.. Hey, but everyone can have their own opinions and this is just friendly chatter! |

Thx OP for the pics..I wish you had taken some more actually...
Love the F32...disappointing that the front and the interior looks like the f30, but it doesn't make it a bad car...it is still very nice looking. I am going to order a 428i in January and I am still trying to decide if I go with estoril blue or mineral grey....Seeing these pics of the glacier silver, I just added that as an option as well.... Guess I won't know until I see the colours live... |

I don't have a problem with the "M" badge. It's the sheer amount of these badges that is problematic on non-M cars. An M3 has one badge on the back. The 4-coupe, aside from the model designation, will have two additional badges on the fenders. It looks like ass (in my opinion).
It's just overkill. And if you're only keeping these badges on to "show that you paid more than a non m-sport" you've got some bigger problems to tend to. |
