It is a no-win situation. To an M-car owner M-Performance cars like the M240, M340, etc. are not M-cars despite BMW calling them such on the BMW USA website. Then there are the M-Performance car owners who will say that a cars with the lowly M-Sport package should not have M emblems, despite the fact that BMW themselves put them in many locations on the vehicle.

My 230i with the M-Sport package has if I remember correctly 11 spots with the M logo from the factory. Ultimately I de-badged my car simply because I like the look better this way.

Personally I think the whole thing is just another case of penis compensation
I'm in the same spot with my IS 500 F Sport "Performance". It's not a real F car.

So what did I do? I installed RC F lower control arm bushings and wider Michelin PS4S tires.

Now it handles like an actual F car while still looking like a sleeper. I love it so much more now.
