The ///M logo...what does it mean?

[geksai]

I am not talking about the M5 or M3.

Just the 318 or 320 or 323 or 325 or 330 or 335 or 520 or 523 or 525 or 530 etc who replace the series numbers on the right side of the boot with the ///M logo.

I did my homework:
The M itself stands for Motorsport, and it's the symbol for the motorsport division of BMW. the "///" in front are the three colors that represent the M brand. IIRC, the light blue represents BMW, the red represents Texaco (which BMW partnered with back in the 70's), and the purple is the two blended together.

There are ///M steering wheel and ///M gearknob and M-tech/M-sport kits etc

So by putting the ////M, does it mean your is more "sport" or more "power" or more "mods" or just gena classify as more "beng" or more "act sei"?

Does it go against any BMW conventions or values or identity by putting this ///M logo?
Or, how to "qualify" to put the ///M logo without gena suan or being a kns?

Re: The ///M logo...what does it mean?

when pasted, it gives the owner of the non- M car a huge physcological high. :whatthe:
some told me its a chick magnet,
some told me adds additional horsepower
some told me just like the look
some told me previous owner put one, so he thought its stock

its a personal preferance.
for my ride, i never use any ///M emblems cos I dun like ppl say I wannabe. :dramamam:

I saw one thread in forum by Robson Design, it reads : M3 logo for X5, or something like that.
I dunno whats the reason but I didnt bother to go in and read.

enjoy your car, M or non M.

In my personal robotic opinion, depends on where you put the logo and what is the purpose of putting it there.
When talking about ///M steering wheel, ///M gearknob, etc, the ///M logo is already there and it will be stupid to purposely remove it.

However, putting a huge ///M logo at the boot which replaces the original numbers is another thing altogether. What does the owner trying to imply, i.e. it is a M-boot? a M-engine? Or if I put it on my car I become M/// Robot?

Anyway, I used to stick 2 small ///M stickers on my fenders last time. Just for fun, and I thought it's fine since it's so insignficantly small. But I wouldn't stick a big ///M on my boot.

Important thing is one is happy can already. E.g. my offset wrong but I still happy

I personally feels that yes, a ///M car is a ///M car. M3, M5, M6, X5M or X6M.

While on the other hand there are ///M parts, which is a different thing altogether I feel. Putting ///M parts does not make one's car into a M-car.

But if the purpose of a particular badge is to let people think that it is a M-car (when it is not), then I feel this is where the problem lies.

Can be hao lian, but cannot be tua kang. Kentonna say one

Officially: (Does not apply to DIY stick themself type badge engineering)

M-Cars vs. M-badged cars

There are several BMW models which BMW Motorsport made changes on, without them becoming full M-Cars e.g. BMW 530i M-line packet or 325i M-line packet etc. Vehicles which have been modified by BMW Motorsport, but are not full M Cars, may feature plain "M" badges with no number, whilst full M Cars will have "M" badges with the model number (e.g. "M3" or "M5"). One exception to this is the M Coupe model, both Z3 and Z4 variants, which only have on the boot a plain "M" badge with no number displayed. These cars are full M Cars.
In recent years, there have been M Sport packages (which is more expensive than the regular Sport package) and other M-badged accessories available on non-M cars, usually as factory options. Examples of this include the E46 3 series, in which the performance package option upgraded the car to include M68 style rims which had small M badges below the BMW Roundels, while the E39 and E60 5 series sedans had optional aerodynamic packages that included strongly influenced M5 styling (for example bumpers). It is not unusual to see "standard" BMW's with "M" badges or ribbons accenting the design. Simply look at the tachometer, without the M mark and the 300 km/h it's not an M5 E34.
The plain ///M Badge simply stands for M-tech upgrades on the car, suspension, brakes, looks or any other mod that has been developed by the ///M division. So therefore the ///M badge should not under any circumstances be compared to the ///M+number badge (except the Z-cars, as mentioned), as they are not plain M-cars, just M-equipped.
In Europe for example, they have had these ///M options on the regular cars since the late 70's. Therefor you will also see many cars from Europe that carry these ///M-badges from factory.
The 2011 BMW 335is is considered an M-badged and enhanced car, although not a full M-car. The 335is has a more powerful engine than the regular 335i, plus the front bumper intake and rear exhaust manifold influenced by the M3, and an optional M dual clutch transmission instead of a automatic transmission. The same powertrain is also found in the 2012 BMW 1 Series M Coupe, which is considered a full M car.[9]
