Badge snobs??? I'm currently in-between cars, so running around in my French sh*tbox track car. I have no loyalty to any brand.
The kicker is though, no matter what it looks like, it's an M-car - so it will be proper. The 135i is a beautifully handling car and for those old enough to have driven E30s back in the day, it's as close as they've come since. More power, real LSD, adding lightness and M-tweaks.... there's no way this car can be a bad 'un.
