When I see a M badge on a BMW I think to myself thats a M Power car? We also know some people for their own reasons buy aftermarket badges an stick them on anything, but lets ignore that for a moment.
The some years ago BMW introduced the M Sport package, a few different bits and pieces and different suspension? I had one E92 335D.
Last Saturday was the launch of the new Z4, so I was looking at the M 40i, so what is it?
M Power? - No Sir it's M Performance, not M power and not M Sport ( well it has a few bits) 40 i - 4 litre injection right? - No Sir its a 3.0 litre
Just seems to me BMW will stick some kind of M logo on anything, seem as shame?
Oh if you want one its 49,050 on the road

Never underestimate the power of the M badge - and never mind what it is attached to . . . I am sure that if BMW manufactured trash cans adorned with an M badge at a higher price, people would buy them!
