Fake Badges

Nice upgrade!

Nate.G82 · 08-09-2022, 08:29 AM

Taken this morning on my commute to work. Was at a stoplight when this beauty pulled up behind me. In typical "M Performance" fashion, he squirmed his way passed me through bumper to bumper traffic and shaved enough time to make it to the next stoplight next to me!

Only thing he was missing is the ///M colored grille.

Ugh, I hate those tinted license plate covers. I don't want to be anywhere near a car with that cause of risk and liability. I wish I had time to take a picture of it, but I was stuck behind an Altima with the darkest cover I've ever (couldn't) seen. Even in bright daylight, bumper to bumper traffic, I could barely make out the plate... forget about seeing it a car length away.

Just found this thread...Not BMW but had to post this pic I snapped a while ago of the new Ferrari TLX. I normally ignore this kind of foolishness, but this one was too ridiculous to pass up.

Saw this one at the mall today. Droptop ///M650i XDrive. I couldn't bring myself to look at the sides or front for more badges in places they shouldn't be.

Excellent M placement!

I'd love to see a thread where the owners of these cars are interviewed and ask "why "?.........just " why "

Great idea! If Jay Leno still had the Tonite Show this could have been a topic for the Jaywalking segment.

Why do people do the M colored grill? It looks tacky as hell

I think some people do it to laugh at how worked-up other people get over badges.

From 3 series to 8 series average car is about 75k. Putting a fake M on a 75k car ? Really ?
It's not a Honda Civic

Disagree. I think most put on fake badges to fool others into thinking the car is better ( or at least more expensive) than it is, not to " own the M owners".

Here's a new one for me. M mirror caps (and bonus CS spoiler) on an Infiniti?

Well.... at least they didn't put a BMW badge on it. Given that I'm a bit torn, it may be alright?
