BMW had a niche reputation much earlier in the late 80s and early 90s when it was "the" car of the Yuppie movement. Also BMW has been putting M badges on its cars well before the current day. My 1986 325es had M badges all over it from the factory. Was it an M3? No. Did anyone confuse it with an M3? No way.
