They would love to have a real ///M and the looks... and the power of it !
But they don't have the $$$$$ to buy it..thats why it's actualy sadly .

Agreed, because they love the brand but not have money to buy it

Why even put a spoiler? Oh wait in their minds it makes it go faster in a straight line and have a higher top speed. It's boring. Going to the drag strip every week to get 0.00001 seconds of the 1/4 mile on a heavily modified track car thays about to break due to the massive hp and boost increase is boring. The track and setting lap records is what's truly fun and exciting, but most younglings in the USA aren't actually good in corners

These things are true for you. You like road courses more than drag strip/street racing. That's great. Others find the drag strip and street racing fun and that's what they like. Sounds a bit like a superiority complex to me, but I'll leave it at that. M340s run 10s on e50, DP, and tune. M3CX runs 9s on similar mods. That's not boring for many people, but may be for you.

I occasionally do highway races too. I agree it's enjoyable and fun. A few supras run 8s now.

But I specifically said "only going to drag strips" and "gojng to the drag strip every week" and also "only higjway racing" and then clarified that when I take them (the drag strip guys) on the track (either in this thread or another), they get consistently like 50% slower lap times and get upset and want to run back to the drag strip as its upsetting to them when they realize they're actually not good at true sport driving.

I like tracks but the m340i, the z4 m40i I have, and or the M3C(X), we're born on a track basically and engineered to be great at the nurburgring for the class of cars they're in, not the drag strip.

You should try going to the track and try to aim for a record lap. You'll see what I mean, I know all your friends will think ur crazy or.not "normal" for preferring the track or even gojng to one, but you'll see the joys of what I mean (if you like to enjoy things your way and not just enjoy drag strips because the group your wkth all collectively are drag strip lovers and you conform to the group also to fit in)

My 2 cents

a few badges and spoilers can make a standard one look a little nicer and flashier i guess but it has to be tasteful some ppl just slap on whatever they find and over do it

+1. Totally agree.

Agreed. It not about how hard you drive your car, or what parts you bolt on. It's about masquerading as an M car by adding M car badges. IMHO nothing wrong with putting m3 wheels in a 3 series
