Re badging, I'm not too bothered. Debadged my E92.

As an owner of both an E92 335is and F80 M3, I would have to say that they are both equally well differentiated between their standard and M versions. The front and rear flares of the E92 M3 were, IMO, very noticeable and obviously stood out from a 335is. This goes equally for the F80 M3 vs. F30 335i as the F80 M3 has really nice flared quarter panels and even a lay person, like my wife, can't believe that the F80 and F30 are built on nearly identical platforms as she really thinks they are totally different cars.
However, the F82 M4 and F32 335i M sport, to my eyes at least, look much more similar because the rear flares don't stand out at all on the F82 M4. If the cars were side by side, you can easily tell. But, on more than a few occasions, I've had to look twice to see if I was looking at an M4 or 435i/428i. |
That last paragraph was my point exactly.
I'm not trying to devalue either car. They're both beautiful and every time I see anyone with an M I'll give them the props they deserve.
I mean, if people like you and I who love/appreciate these cars have to double take- imagine those who don't know the difference between an M sport and an ///M. That's all.
At the end of the day- We all have beautiful rides. Plain and simple
