I think the main reason it seems so worse toady is that there are many more BMW models available now...in the 80's you had the 3,5,7...now you have those in many more variants, plus the 1,Z4,X1,X3,X5,X6...with other models on the way...so it just seems like the ///M badges have multiplied and are all over the place...which by its very nature, dilutes what BMW motorsport once stood for.
I have a bone stock 135 and it has at least 5 ///M badges that i can think of off the top of my head. Do they add anything to the car, performance-wise? Of course not...
I am all for having a car that
looks better than stock (better wheels, lower profile, sportier aspirations) but it seems like they could call it something else and leave ///M for the real deal.
Just my $.02
