The source of the problem is B.M.W.

They sell a $7 BMW M badge on their official site which condones this. They should have let that job to the fake market, instead of mildly pissing off their M car buyers. Imagine ROLEX selling a rolex dial that you can put on fake watches. This is what the Germans are doing.
As insignifiant as this seems it WILL make me look at other brands in the future. I guess they don't give a damn for the relatively small M owners base.
