Here is what I don't understand about badging the upper trim cars with an M; why not just use Tii? I know its an old school reference but I would think that most enthusiasts would understand it. I imagine that the M branding is designed to appeal to enthusiasts as most average people don't know the significance of M. Before my M2C, I had a M235 and I hated how much M branding that car had. Its was a great car and it was cool to get some of the bits of of the M2 but I always hated that it was adorned with M logo's like I would somehow believe that it was a 'true M car'.
As far as the M car purists acting pompous about it, yea there is some of that. For a lot of us its been a dream for a long time. The M badge being placed on everything kind of cheapens it a bit.
