my neighbour's wife has a e90 320d and he stuck a "M" badge on it...it just looks so wrong, and he was commenting that he want my spare set of e90 M3 wheels to "complete" the look !!, I just kept quiet

The engine was also only a 3.0d but a tuned version.
This was a brand new factory fresh car so obviously they come badged like this.

I'd be ashamed to drive around in it tbh!
That`s why the `proper` Motorsport division is being `diluted` so much. BMW are putting the M on any old **** now

My badge is on a real one

Nothing wrong with completing the look of a car to look like its better than it is but I stopped at putting a WRX badge on the back as the lack of scoop would just make me look like a wally.

Yeah but the 320d with the rubber band tyres is doing 55mpg
I have a remapped 330d sport, a good mix of comfort, mpg, performance and looks for peanuts

Kite surfers with board shorts are very bad indeed.

Having said all this, I'm thinking the next car will be an M135i. A sort of M lite. At least it's quick though.

I just like my 335d hearse that only has MSport suspension. The rest is SE. It looks just like a 318d SE to all but the most keen exhaust pipe spotters. just how I like it!

Oh and the most important upgrade; non run flats!

Polzeath on the right as you look out to sea (but not New Polzeath). Can PM exact location! Definitely shout when you're down - we'll be around!

At high tide it's less than two minutes walk. At low it's twice that!

I'm looking at the waves (which are nuts today) as I type this. There are some roofs partially in the way but it's still not bad. Will whizz the address over.

Any closeness to "good looking" vaporized as I hit 30...
