But encroaching on the police parking spot…? Damned if you do, damned if you don't I guess

i always....ALWAYS...move shopping carts left in spots like that. so damned annoying. i just figure it's karma to move them back into the cart corral so they dont end up hitting my car...or anyone else's for that matter

Not badges per se, but hypothetically speaking if one were to add a CS rear spoiler and front lip to a ZCP, should one expect to find one's car in a thread such as this?

Asking for a friend.

cosmetic mods are fine as long as you dont go crazy with them...but to each their own.

I normally despise up badging of all kinds, but in this case I must salute the humor of the guy who did this. Well played sir.

ROFL!! Don’t worry, you can let your “friend” know that spoilers don’t count as faking it.

Thanks for double checking and I hope you…I mean your “friend” can now lower your…I mean his anxiety that we won’t roast him on here!!

ITS A TRAP! 😂

Curbside parking for 5-0, so they can get their booze on faster!

Just go with a rolls badge, way more classy.

My friend has a 330i with the M sport package. Says M all over his car so he put a badge on the back. Tell me the difference. Everything is fake today.

Well back in the day when I had my E34 M5 one couldn't buy a M badge from the MD without first showing them your log book, having said that the first thing I did when I bought it was to remove the M badges...M cars were stealthy (apart from the E30) back then

If the factory puts them on, they're not fake. If you add it after the fact, it's fake. Them's the rules.

You think the people who put them on really care. I could care less myself. Blame BMW they diluted the M brand anyway.

It's obvious they don't care, if they did, this thread wouldn't be 210 pages long, now would it?

The entire post is silly anyway. I remember the days when people took badges off the car.

Bugs Meany · 09-20-2022, 09:24 AM

Saw a 320i with random ///M badges (pastel variety) affixed to the front doors, where they used to put xDrive.

Plot Twist: Put on the badge and take pictures, then ridicule the wife!

LOL! Just noticed the park and wait sign is for a liquor store. Lazy drunks!

In all fairness, the driver of that “M” car put themselves in the worst spot. In my neck of the woods no one uses those spots for curbside pickup. The spots get used as regular parking so there is a lot of turn over since they are up front. Then you have to contend with the rouge shopping carts like the one seen in the photo. So I’d say it’s a high risk, low reward parking spot.
