Is M just a badge?

M is special to me because it is more focused on what I am interested in a car. It has purpose, legacy, integrity. You knew what you were getting. However, what I want is the car wearing the badge, not the badge itself. What I want is an M3/4. Putting an M in front of a 340i alone doesn't change the car. Inversely, omitting the badge doesn't downgrade the car.

In other words–"M" is more than the badge, but it's also just an "M" badge. If we are hinging the worthiness of a car on just the badge, then perhaps we've missed the point.
