So who owns any M gear

Been debating about buying some sort of "M" related gear, whether it be a shirt, jacket or hat but not sure if that comes across as douchebag-ish. Does anybody else have any BMW gear that they wear around town? If I start going to some cars and coffee events was thinking I could wear it then. Don't want to be that-guy

An ///M3 hat works for me.
I've had one since E36 M3 days. That should tell you about how often I get to wear it.

a

P.S.: I find ///M gear less douchebag-ish than BMW gear.

I find it douchebagery if you don't own the car and wear the gear. Nothing wrong with representing what brand you drive of what model car you have. Just don't flaunt what you don't have

I have a lot of automobile logo gear that I got as promos at races, car shoes, etc. Bags, shirts, hats, etc. that have Mercedes, BMW, Cadillac, Volvo, Dodge, Corvette, Maserati and other logos on them.

I limited my gear to the M coffee mug- in the interest of not being a douche. Honest story..... my buddy bought himself a real nice ferrari. That was the good part. But he just couldn't help himself. He not only bought, but then wore, head to toe Ferrari gear. I told him honestly, cause we're tight, 'dude, you look like a total jackass.. you're taking something very cool and making it very uncool.' He even bought the luggage...

Yea I agree, understated is always better. My guess most people won't even know what the ///M stands for.
One thing I didn't understand was when the wife and I were in Italy last year, how many walking around wearing Ferrari gear who obviously don't own one. Must be a country pride thing.

M key chain and BMW windbreaker given to me at time of purchase.

BMW cuff links from girlfriend.

M driving gloves from girlfriend. I know there are haters out there but I love them.

2 BMW polos from Puma store bought myself.

2 BMW teddy bears from girlfriend.

Sounds like a lot (and probably it is), but 80% of the time I am in a suit and tie, and most of the time I don't wear this stuff (except the gloves which I wear everytime I drive )

May get a couple of shirts and a keychain at most. Don't want another wallet (LV and Lamborghini), hate hats and I don't go out of my way to wear watches often.

M branded gear isn't for me, happy with the car, but to each their own. All I have is two dealer freebies from when I bought my E60- a keyring and an umbrella which I can't find.

A couple of different style caps, t-shirt, wallet, gloves for track days, and Jacket, that I picked up at the Welt. Puma has a 20% sale on now, so contemplating of adding some drift cats.

What can I say?; I'm an M fanatic. (No, I never wear them all at the same time)

I have the car, end off list. My penis is small enough that no one wants to see how badly I need enhancements.

Received swag from my dealer after my purchase...M hat which is well done and subtle, M stainless steel coffee mug, and M beverage cooler.

The only item I purchased for myself was a shirt that said " I M back".
I can't tell you how many times someone at the gym has asked me "what does that shirt mean?".

Scuderia Ferrari is the most successful team in Formula 1 racing, and a source of national pride. I'm sure they have a few fans in Italy that would wear a Ferrari t shirt...


I own few ///M branded items, but the only thing I carry around is my keychain, and sometimes the coffee mug. I don't really wear the tshirts or hat that I own.
