i believe it.

28 in the visible area(exterior and interior)

39 of them in the UNDERcarriage, which is fine, because it shows how "bespoke" the M cars really are.




but 28 in the cabin and exterior body parts IS excessive.

Driving thrills makes my wallet lighter.. and therefore makes me faster because i'm shedding weight... :D

I take back what i said.

according to this site : http://www.bmwblog.com/2014/12/29/many-m-logos-new-bmw-m3m4/
the new M3/M4 have EXACTLY the same number of ///M logos as my car inside the cabin and periphery of the car.

Just throwing out the reason for it:
BMW lost a legal application against Nissan for the Infiniti use of M as a Trademark on the basis that BMW did not prove that it "used" the "M" moniker sufficiently.  So, BMW is now ensuring that the "M" is being "used".

A bit of a moot point after losing, no?

in the visible part of the car, the current cars have exactly the same number of M moniker as my car.  and my car precedes any conflict with Infiniti, i think.
