Not one of those manufactures does that though. Why does BMW dilute an iconic top tier performance badge?
Actually, the badges on the car don't bother me as it's an M Performance car and not "just" an M sport, but I don't like the idea that the M seat belts are now optional on non-M cars. There should be some elements that are reserved just for M cars I feel and the M belts are a nice touch...

I remember that before BMW started with the M Sport name, the line was simply "sport" and the only M badges, were the tiny stickers on the wheels. My wife once had a 2004 E46 touring - a 330d Sport complete with 204PS and 410Nm (and only 4 ///M badges 🤣🤣&#129315
