An "M"logo is a logo they all over my SUV 2015 X1 Msport. Just saying if the guy likes the look of the sticker, so be it, to say the car is unworthy of the sticker I take exception to.
The M4 is about 500 lbs heavier than the Z4. No one claims the M4 is a sports car, but despite what you think the set up between the two is very different. Just a trivia note, the M4 did Nurburgring in 7:52 and the Z4 M40i did it in 7:55.4 - not bad.
