Why do people put "M" badges on non-M cars?

Its actually a shame that the new M cars are coming with grille mounted M badges. M6 and new M4! Audi did it from the start with the RS range so that looks normal. Are AMG going to start this fad?
They've already started factory grille badging 4 pot diesels and giving them ridicilous names like A200 CDI AMG SPORT PLUS.
Aaargh.
These fake M badges have now started pursuing me onto my own street.
Please welcome the "M" 320i convertible. Lowered, with a baked bean can exhaust.
Thought for about 10 seconds of continuing my "NOT AN" M post it note campaign, but thought discretion is the better part of valour here.

Could you not draw an 'A' between the W and T on the number plate These fake M badges have now started pursuing me onto my own street.

I think the E28 / E34 M5s had grille badges. Maybe it was the shape of the grille back then, but to my eye it certainly looked more natural on those than on any additions I've seen on recent models.Maybe BMW will go for S-Line style M-Sport front badges too
There is a berk I see most mornings on the A12 near Ipswich in a white clearly badged 520d with M's stuck all over it, one behind the "d" at a slight angle, both front wings (not even straight) and one glued to the grill! Its a 13 plate car, poor thing.
The other morning he had his window down as we passed in very slow traffic, I think my blast of 7k as the tail pipes levelled with his ear, made him jump. He looked at me a meters further down the traffic jam, and I just made a sad face, looked down and shook my head slowly as if I had just witnessed a puppy get run over
Why do people do it?

Saw this in Aylesbury. Whats that? An M3 you say?
Only missing errr, 2 tail pipes, which the current two are only in the wrong position, and pretty much everything else is wrong with the car.

Once parked my M5 next to a replica M5. I wonder how sheepish the owner was

I had a little encounter with an E60 "M5" during the summer when out in my E34. My behaviour in response was extremely childish and something I really shouldn't be proud of, but it did make me giggle. Plus I have to make sure the old girl doesn't get pushed around too much! I should put the badge back on the bootlid I suppose though
