Trade CL9 Accord Euro for E90 320i?

"the nameplate itself is part of the value proposition".

Though, it's probably the 320i drivers I see on the road who de-badge their cars and stick a M3 badge onto it instead who are the real badge wannabes.

How is that any worse than people sticking type R badges on their honda's?

They're badge wannabes too.

Exactly, every brand has those type of "fanboys". You cant discredit a vehicle just because of a few idiots can we?

Some times it's also a financial choice, BMW finance had done a very good job on packaging the deal with it's guaranteed trade-in etc. So if you are looking at either a leased or company car, a 3 series is probably a better deal financially compared to say.. A top of range v6 accord.

Also, on other parst of the world, it's cheaper to buy a BMW 3 than an accord euro outright, just pick up a UK version of Top Gear mag and you'll see what I mean.

A lot of people buy BMW's on finance these days, it's fine if you pay it off but watch out if you don't! I think it's these people who try to live above their means.
