We aren't doing widebody conversions and motor swaps to pose as an Mx car, we simply like the parts that are offered, and BMW marketing slaps the ///M name on them. I like being able to add these items because they are subtle, OEM, and the dealership won't give me crap for having them.

We are simply modding these cars like you did with your 328, we aren't trying to make them into a M car any more than you are.
That. With those port-installable M Performance parts, BMW is fishing in the aftermarket market, similar to those old Volkwagen Golf GTI commercials: "Pre-Tuned by German Engineers":
