Again, that's whoredom; M-B will sell the tarts AMG wheels and AMG bodykits and stuff.
There are a lot of buyers who want the pretentious look, but the struggle-buggy/tightwad engine.
The entire car-buying market looks increasingly f ucked-up to me...

Everything is wrong with it IMO.
I hate it.
There are no M Sport badges on the exterior of an non-M BMW including the M Sport cars.
There are some on the interior though e.g. sills, steering wheel and gear stick.
I think it looks ridiculous, even more so when they remove the 320 badge and replace it with an M badge.
On a side note I was impressed by the guy driving a 135 yesterday who had it debadged, you can only tell a 135 by no fog lights, 2 large black satin exhausts and large non-Brembo branded front callipers.... It was a bit of a stealth performance car

The 18s that are standard on the larger engined 325/330/335i M Sport models have M badges on the wheels, which i think if i'm not mistaken are on the outside (exterior) of the car...
Not on my wheels, or the 19's on the 3 series... I do remember the badges on our old E46 though...

As you might know i have purchased a ****hall vxr8.
I am now in the process of getting all the clubsport r8 badges[nothing i can do about the seats] to return it to its HSV origin.
is this wrong or gay?
p.s. if anybody has a hsv steering wheel badge can i buy it.
