The only difference those owners didnt pay the premium price they would've if BMW put them on for them.
The badges we've shown are fake. If BMW installs the ///M badge; the car then is a genuine ///M car. Is BMW destroying what the ///M means by installing it on cars like the 7 series you poste? Sure they are. They don't really care at this point in time. They've figured out that people really only care about the badging and the fact they can make more money by installing simple badges. Now, back to the point. When BMW installs the ///M the car is legit even if it is disgusting to some of us. However, when an owner installs an ///M badge; it is fake as they are not the manufacturer. Although, I don't really have a problem with people doing so. It still warrants a head shake and laugh.
