One of ///M's rival is also his cousin: ALPINA
Alpina Burkard Bovensiepen GmbH is an automobile manufacturing company based in Buchloe, in the Ostallgäu district of Bavaria, Germany selling their own cars, based on BMW cars. Alpina works closely with BMW and their processes are integrated into BMW's production lines, thus Alpina is recognized by TÜV as an automobile manufacturer, in contrast to other performance specialists which are aftermarket tuners. For instance, the Alpina B7 is produced at the same assembly line in Dingolfing, Germany, along with BMW's own 7-Series. For the 2011 model year, the B7's twin-turbo 4.4-liter BMW V8 is assembled by hand at Alpina's facility in Buchloe, Germany, before being shipped to BMW for installation, and the assembled vehicle is then sent back to Alpina for finishing touches

A bit from me...
Hey, how's everybody doing? Great? Today's MU vs. Barcelona BTW, madferit. I'd like to thank everybody who have participated in the production house debate on an earlier post, till this hour I've seen that people prefer the ///M rather than the AMG by Merc.
Today, I would like to say that I'm concerned towards the use of my blog's ShoutMix! widget. So far it's used for people to comment about my blog. Sadly, some people just can't respect the others. Sometimes they write things as if they should've not fucking visit the blog at the first place, as if they don't have anything to do outside of wanking. Please, just write things that are important on the ShoutMix! widget so you and me will be happy and for the sake of our relationship.
I think that's all, thank you for your time. Keep visiting us, god bless. Live forever.
Regards,

A conflict inside the manufacturer: M-Cars vs. M-badged cars
There are several BMW models which BMW Motorsport made changes on, without them becoming full M-Cars e.g. BMW 530i M-line packet or 325i M-line packet etc. Vehicles which have been modified by BMW Motorsport, but are not full M Cars, may feature plain "M" badges with no number, whilst full M Cars will have "M" badges with the model number (e.g. "M3" or "M5"). One exception to this is the M Coupe model, both Z3 and Z4 variants, which only have on the boot a plain "M" badge with no number displayed. These cars are full M Cars.
In recent years, there have been M Sport packages (which is more expensive than the regular Sport package) and other M-badged accessories available on non-M cars, usually as factory options. Examples of this include the E46 3 series, in which the performance package option upgraded the car to include M68 style rims which had small M badges below the BMW Roundels, while the E39 and E60 5 series sedans had optional aerodynamic packages that included strongly influenced M5 styling (for example bumpers). It is not unusual to see "standard" BMW's with "M" badges or ribbons accenting the design. Simply look at the tachometer, without the M mark and the 300 km/h it's not an M5 E34.
The plain ///M Badge simply stands for M-tech upgrades on the car, suspension, brakes, looks or any other mod that has been developed by the ///M division. So therefore the ///M badge should not under any circumstances be compared to the ///M+number badge (except the Z-cars, as mentioned), as they are not plain M-cars, just M-equipped. In Europe for example, they have had these ///M options on the regular cars since the late 70's. Therefor you will also see many cars from Europe that carry these ///M-badges from factory.
The 2011 BMW 335is is considered an M-badged and enhanced car, although not a full M-car. The 335is has a more powerful engine than the regular 335i, plus the front bumper intake and rear exhaust manifold influenced by the M3, and an optional M dual clutch transmission instead of a automatic transmission. The same engine is also found in the 2012 BMW 1 Series M Coupe, which is considered a full M car.

Mercedes-AMG (Aufrecht Melcher Großaspach) GmbH, commonly known as AMG, is a subsidiary of the Mercedes-Benz car company specializing in high-performance luxury cars. AMG models typically have more aggressive looks, higher performances, better handling and better stability than their regular Mercedes counterparts. AMG models are typically the most expensive and highest-performance of each Mercedes series, with the exception of non-AMG V12 models found in the most expensive nameplates of the Mercedes lineup.

...One of the most iconic Ray-Ban ever made.
The Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses have been manufactured by Ray-Ban since 1952, when their design was a revolutionary break from the metal eyewear of the past. Wayfarers enjoyed early popularity in the 1950s and 1960s. Though the sunglasses had faded from the limelight by the 1970s, a lucrative 1982 product placement deal brought Wayfarers to their height of popularity. Since the mid-2000s, the sunglasses have been enjoying a revival.
Wayfarers are sometimes cited as the best-selling design of sunglasses in history (although Ray-Ban Aviators have also been credited with this achievement) and have been called a classic of modern design and one of the most enduring fashion icons of the 20th century.
