So an m pack non m135i will probably be quite a rare sight!( hence the question will those in the know laugh it off as me trying to be a wannabe 135i, while the rest it means nothing to them)
It's up to you.. but my opinion is that it doesn't look good at all..

Just put the whole m135i badge on it,
The italic 125 looks odd against the m,

I would debadge it to surprise unknowing pricks in big 5 series or a6 stinking diesel cars and like them to think, oh my god get out of my way with youre '1 series f20' until you step on your gas.
I will always love rather 'small' cars with big engines like an m135i, ttrs,rs3' megane rs,focusrs etc etc...
Big diesel cars and suv's are major pollution cars, ok also gasoline cars but not as much.
If they can upgrade the range mileage of electric cars, for sure a tesla roadster or tesla model s for me!
It may annoy you but your car is not a true M so maybe their should be no Motor Sports as well as this was the case a few years ago when their was only true M cars.

There have been ///M badges on non-///M cars for a long time. I say as long as BMW put it there, fine. If not pass--MHO.

I agree. BMW put ///M-badges on our 116i, as it is the M-Sport edition. The real ///M-cars have ///M-badges mixed with a digit, like ///M3.

I also agree
My 125i M Sport came with the M Badge on the back, (small M badge) on the front guards plus they are on the Calipers, door sills, steering wheel etc.
All the M Sport models here have the small M badge on the front guards as well as the assorted within.
Its not the M badge, but what you put with it. The M Badge is just the BMW Motor Sport symbol. If a version is called a M Sport what is the problem.

I only have an issue with those people putting a M1/M3/M5 badge on their non M car.

As long as you are happy with it. Just don't do a Morris-Merc

The customer bears no responsibility for what the manufacturer puts on the car. Those who believe you should've bought the top version instead must invest money rather than the "bright" idea into that.

I chose no badge on mine just because I don't want others aware of what's none of their business. Never mind their assuming it's a bottom version. I'd have most definitely chosen the same with any "///M of the ///Ms".

"Badge tuning" is different. People advertise their overlooking the essence in favour of the looks. Or the pitiful inability to have got what they like. Not much to be proud of. Who likes fools? Only themselves, I suppose.
